Plus Picks for 14+ Shoppers

Looking for some great plus selections this season? Here's what we think might be nice to try out on your own and see what you like!

A Little Bit of Frill

Frilly tops are the way to go. If you're feeling self-conscious about one detail in particular, don't particularly like a specific area, or want to add some shape, ruffles are the way to do it sneakily this season. Tops with a frill along thebustline accentuate your upper half, shirt with a hemline frill can help balance a more uneven body type to a "t." Try your top in silk to combat the weight and heat of layering!

Maxi Dresses

Get that long dress to the floor, and show off all your gorgeous curves without feeling like the wind will ruin your day. Many of us who live in more blustery areas can barely pull off a knee-length skirt without having it get yanked around, and who wants to wearSpanx underneath his or her's skirt every day? Not me!

Back-Baring Bits

An exposed back is a good way to show skin, get in the summer mood, and avoid all the other styles that might show parts you're not so interested in showing. The back is a safe yet sexy spot to highlight, and it's also an area that simply can't be done wrong. Look for t-back tops and dresses if you don't want to go for the full halter style--in fact, it might be the preferred option if we are going for the "less is more" thing.

Decorative Floral Dresses

You need a floral frock, no matter whether or not you consider yourself a dresser who leans towards the feminine, and colorful is the way to go with this one. Sling on your most tea party appropriate item in a variety of blended colors, and consider matching that dress with a cool pair of jeweled leather sandals.

Strapless Selections

Are you a strapless kind of girl? Try to be one today, because all those little styles might just surprise you. If you have slimmer shoulders, not matter what your size, you can create the illusion of slimness with just a few smart picks. If you need to find a strapless bra to complement your look, try one fromLipo in a Box, which are my personal favorite.

Peasant Wear

Whee! A peasant dress is a good way to get into that summer spirit, and the good news is that you don't need to get a dress or top with that elastic that runs along the sleeves orbustline . There are plenty of embroidered items that simply can't be beat, and when you are trying your best to complement your curvy frame, look for decorative smocking designs instead.

Striped Pieces

Vertical stripes are always a very smart choice, and we're sure you'll agree! If you've been ignoring striped looks and you need a break from the plain and geometric, this is it.
