Rewriting The Dress Code

Posted: 11/12/2010

Myths about what full-figured women can wear no longer hold true.

(NAPSI) - With nearly 60 percent of American women wearing clothes size 12 or above, full-figured women are clearly the fashion majority. But an outdated dress code keeps many from experiencing the fashion adrenaline associated with wearing stylish clothes.

Encouraging her fellow full-figured gals to become the fierce fashionistas they were always meant to be, Susan Moses, celebrity stylist and blogger for Sonsi.com, debunks the fashion myths that have kept full-figured women from reaching their full fashion potential:

You can wear bright colors, but wear them on body parts you want to accentuate.

Leggings are not pants, but paired with tunics, short dresses and the season’s new asymmetric soft T-shirts and sweaters, they look great on the full-figured body.

Wear fitted clothing, but remember the key to making it work is wearing undergarments that perfect your body shape and smooth out your lines.

“Experiment and dare to wear the styles they say we can’t, because you can,” says Moses.
