Plus Size Prom Dresses
According to the International Journal of Fashion Design, the average women’s dress size is between 16 and 18. Yet, the majority of dresses showcased are smaller than that. When you shop in Madame Bridal prom dress store, we want you to see yourself in the images - to see someone that looks like you!

As you look through our homecoming gown store, consider what kind of formal dress you want. Maybe you know exactly what you’re looking for or maybe you have no idea and you’re open to whatever pops out at you! Wherever you fall on that spectrum, just imagine how you want to feel on your special day. Do you want to feel bold, colorful, bright, radiant, sexy, beautiful, strong? Deciding how you want to feel will dictate what you choose to wear, not the other way around. Yes, we want to wear something stunning and stylish, but we also need to feel stunning and stylish on the inside! Then, you’ll find the perfect special occasion dress for you.
Once you decide what feeling you’d like your clothing to help you invoke, learn some of the visual tricks to achieve a particular look you’re going for. For example, vertical lines draw the eye up and down the body. So, if you’re hoping to appear longer and leaner, tightly spaced vertical lines could be just the solution. Diagonal lines across the body are also a form-flattering look because the eyes are drawn up and across the body.
Another important tip for finding the best plus size prom or homecoming dress is to choose the right size for your body. Too often, people wear clothing that does not properly fit them. So, for a moment just forget about the number and the mental attachments to the number. For now, the number on the tag is strictly for the sake of labeling. Instead of focusing on what size you think you are, aim for finding a dress that fits you just right - regardless of what the number on the tag says. Get measured by a professional and then find the perfect fitting plus sized formal gown in this online formal dress shop.
Equally important as finding a sexy plus size prom dress that fits your body, look for a formal gown that fits your coloring too! Depending on your skin tone, certain colors may be more flattering. Many stylists agree, color is the most important thing. Sure, it’s easy to throw on a black or navy dress, but there’s a wide color spectrum that can be beautiful, fun, and flattering. For example, if you have a warmer skin tone (think golden or olive), you might like to try warmer colors, like warm greens and blue or golden yellows. If you have a cooler skin tone (think bluish, very fair or very dark), consider wearing bright or royal blue, deep purples or sapphire, or a bright pink. If your skin color is neutral, your ideal color palette will also be neutral - steer away from something exceptionally bright.
Look for a dress that will highlight the parts of your body that you especially adore and complement everything else. If your favorite parts of your beautiful body are your chest and shoulders, look for a halter top plus size prom dress. If you love your thighs and hips, look for an A-line or mermaid fit-and flare skirt formal gown. We have long sleeved plus size formal dresses, strapless plus size party gowns, and plus size cocktail dresses.
Our goal at Madame Bridal is to help you find a festive formal dress that is both flattering and fashion-forward. If you’re looking for something in particular or you would like some more guidance, please reach out to us and we’ll help you find a stunning formal gown for your next special event!
