You're a young plus size professional looking for the right plus size suit that would fit you for your first job. You have no knowledge on what kind of plus size suit you should look for. What should you do?

Here are a few helpful tips and suggestions that should hopefully help you to find that perfect suit.

1. Be sure to choose dark colored suits.  Dark colored suits give the illusion of thinness.

Wearing dark plus size suits would hide your bulges. It would give you the illusion of a curvaceous figure and make you look a bit thinner than your usual self.

Dark suits are also good in the since that they give a sense for formality and strength. They also would help you highlight your beautiful skin and the neatness of your entire wardrobe should you be able to pull it out well.

2. Wear suits that are cut perfectly for your body type.

Plus size suits come in different shapes. Make sure you choose the right cut for you to complement your body perfectly. Although it would be nice to experiment with the different cuts, there are some which may not be very good for you.

It would be nice to have those pleated suits at times, but make sure that they perfectly fit you, other wise you would look too big or your bulges would show if you do not choose well.

Hip hugging suits are also nice, but if you have huge hips they might not be that very good for you, since they would highlight your huge hips. Then you may choose those that are not so hip hugging but cut above the hip, to remove the highlight on the hip.

3. Have your suits tailored.

Having your plus size suits tailored would definitely give you the suit that you want. If you have your suits tailored, the seamstress or the tailor would take the exact size of your body. You would be able to make your own demands about how the suit would look like and what things you want the suit to have.

Having it done by the tailor would help you get the suit perfectly suited for you body. Everything would be perfectly fitted for you and the designs that you want to have in your suits can be made by the tailor.

    I’ve had a hard time finding suits that fit me correctly, I’m not the biggest plus size there is, but my proportions just don’t work with normal sizing. I only buy clothes online nowadays because of the tremendous issue of trying clothes on in the store and never having them fit right. I found a company that sells great sizes and doesn’t swallow your wallet either. I have to dress business professional for work and Julie Ann Apparel kind of made it easy. I bought a whole wardrobe and was able to choose the right sizes for me.

    Jaclyn,
    Thanks for your great story. It tells of the problem that most plus size women go through when trying to find clothes in this day and age.

    Fortunately, times are changing, designer are a least stocking their clothes in the stores now. I would not been able to say that 5 years ago. Fast forward another 5 to 10 years and it should be even better.
