Hey curvy girls all over the world,
For this week’s work-wear Wednesday feature, we are all about the colorblock sheath dress. If you don’t know, sheath dresses are a flattering and classic look for a plus size figure. The right one can create a waist and highlight your curves beautifully. The sheath dress is reinvented season after season with a bevy of prints and colors. This season, its all about the colorblock sheath. The colorblock sheath creates an illusion of an hourglass figure. We thought it would be the perfect piece to add to your work-wear wardrobe because its professional enough for the office and sleek and chic enough for dinner.
When buying a sheath dress for the office, you should focus your attention on 3 things:
Fit–Make sure the sheath fits the widest part of your body comfortably, there shouldn’t be any pulling and you should be able to sit down in it. If you need to size up then do it and take the dress to a tailor for a perfect fit
Length–For the office your sheath should hit at the knee or slightly above the knee. Anything shorter than that may be a little inappropriate and could possibly win you an unwanted trip to human resources for a dress code video.
Color- Choose a sheath in a color that looks amazing with your complexion. A color that makes you stand out positively. You can never go wrong with a classic silhouette in an amazing color.
Now checkout some of our favorite sheaths on the plus size market right now and get inspired by the outfit we created using a color-blocked sheath from Simply Be.
