I am so looking forward to seeing what Gabourey Sidibe and Mo’Nique will be wearing. Those two girls really show that big girls can rock fabulous frocks! So if you are inspired by celebrity style and want to find plus size prom dresses worthy of the red carpet, look no more! Of course the dresses shown here are also available in smaller sizes too not just women’s size plus, it’s not just us size plus girls who can wear fab celebrity style dresses.

If you want to imitate true celebrity style, choose an evening gown that is all one color.

If you look at photographs of celebrities wearing red carpet gowns you will notice that the best dressed amongst them choose a gown of one color.

As the holiday season gets ever closer, with parties, formal dinners, charity events and all the other social gatherings women are frantically searching the clothes racks of department stores. Any well dressed woman knows that you have to plan ahead. Looking good involves more than just throwing on any old dress. We have to think about underwear, shapewear, shoes, bags, hair, make up and so on. That’s where the beauty of researching online before you buy is a no brainer. Grab a coffee and surf the net, it couldn’t be easier. Bookmark any dresses that you like and work out a shortlist. This dress may be an expensive investment purchase so you want to make sure you are truly happy with your choice.

I’ll give the same advice I always give, think about your body shape and what style and cut of dress will suit you, showing off your assets and covering those parts you aren’t so keen on. Take a look at the Shapestylist at IGIGI to help you work out your figure shape and learn what styles and cuts will suit your body.

Those fabrics add a touch of decadence and luxury to any outfit. All the plus size coats and plus size jackets shown here could be worn over a short or long evening gown, and would look equally as good over a dressy pants suit.

A tailored cut with detail around the waist will draw attention to the smallest part of your body. Draping fabrics such as the silk wrap coat from Spiegel, is very forgiving and flattering, find some fabulous leopard print coats and jackets there too. Add a colorful corsage or a blinging brooch to change the look. The ivory wool trench coat from BabyPhat.com will see you through a number of formal and informal events. The faux fur collar is not only cute but provides real warmth too. A great buy if you want your plus size coat to wear during the day time as well as for evening wear.

Francesca Empire-Waist Dress with Jeweled Belt In Black

Oh wow, I am in love with this dress from IGIGI Perfect plus size evening wear. The fit is just so flattering. Not only will it take me right through family gatherings and formal socials this festive season, but I also think I will be able to dress it down, for lunch dates with the girls and maybe even work meetings too.

As you can see it looks fabulous with heels, glitzy clutch, shrug/wrap so is perfect for my formal Christmas do’s. But I think I may also wear it on the annual family gathering on Christmas Eve, a little less formal, but looking great with black, white and red accesories. I love a little retro 50’s styling.

For lunch with the girls, I will team it with my wide fitting calf boots, and a fitted jacket and pashmina. Did I mention how versatile this dress is!

Right let’s get down to the nitty gritty, the wide sweetheart neckline is so flattering and can be worn on or off the shoulder, sweet or sexy. The material has a good heavy drape which skims over the lumps and bumps that I want to hide, whilst the empire waist brings me in at the narrowest part of my body, creating curves. The beaded belt really rocks and I am going to use it on some of my other dresses too. The dress is also lined so no embarrasing see through moments! I also love the fact that it has 3/4 sleeves as I hate having my upper arms on show, as I know many women of all shapes and sizes do.

So go check out this and other fabulous plus size dresses at IGIGI right now.
