Skirt styles for plus size and short people. Additional details at the top of the skirt - secret number four

Girls with a curvy figure should never wear shapeless dresses or long tunics all the time.

Their wardrobe must have such a traditionally feminine piece of clothing as a skirt.

Among all the existing variety of models (long, narrow, flared, etc.) there will certainly be styles that will transform your figure and create a wonderful silhouette.
In this article we will tell you how to choose a skirt for girls with full hips.

The pencil skirt is a popular trend in modern fashion. This is a narrow, hip-hugging skirt with a tapered hem. Its length is slightly above or slightly below the knee.

A pencil skirt is perfect for plump girls, as it highlights the buttocks. At the same time, the stomach appears more toned. Thanks to the narrowing of the skirt downwards, the hip line looks clearer, and their volume is visually reduced. By wearing such a model, you can emphasize the waistline and “stretch” the silhouette.

“Pencil” looks great on full figures like “pear” or “hourglass”. Those with this shape should pair this skirt with a fitted top or draped blouse. The skirt itself can be decorated with a bright belt or shiny elements along the waistline.

Girls with an apple-shaped figure should wear a pencil skirt in combination with a long, loose-fitting blouse or tunic to hide their belly.

Unfortunately, this style of skirt is not recommended for fashionistas with rectangle or inverted triangle figures.

The pencil skirt is ideal for office style, and also looks appropriate in elegant sets for parties and special events. It can be combined with jackets, pullovers or cardigans. You definitely need to wear shapewear and sheer tights under this skirt. It is important not to forget about heels - they will complement the look and lengthen the figure even more, giving her slimness.

To ensure that such a skirt fits your figure well, it is advisable to choose models made from natural fabrics such as linen, cotton or wool. The classic pencil skirt is black, but plus size girls can wear models in other shades.
A skirt with inserts along the side seams made of fabric of a contrasting or dark color looks great. This will make you even more slimming.

Straight skirt

A straight skirt is a classic model that fits the figure and has a clear, even hem.

Most often, a straight skirt has a slit and a fastener in the form of a sewn “snake”. This style of skirt is also suitable for full hips. It can have different lengths, but for girls with curvy figures the most suitable length is just below the knee.

A straight skirt highlights the waist and accentuates the rounded hips, highlighting the beauty of the legs. It, like the pencil skirt, is perfect for girls with a pear or hourglass figure.
Those with an apple figure should choose high-waisted models.

A straight black skirt is the basis of an office business style. Pairs well with blouses, as well as any other not too low-cut top. You can wear not only high-heeled shoes under it, but also pumps.

Plain straight skirts of any pastel color are suitable for plump girls.. You should be careful when wearing skirts decorated with embroidery or patterns. You can choose models with belts, decorative vertical stitches or folds.

Gaudet

A year skirt is a model with a narrow, tight-fitting top, which widens towards the bottom due to several - 6 or 8 - sewn-in wedges.

Such skirts make the silhouette more feminine, and The “flying” hem gives slenderness to wide hips and lengthens the legs.
Models with spiral wedges look good.

Those with an hourglass figure can safely wear a “godet” skirt. In other cases, you need to select a model based on the degree of fit, the height of the wedges, and the overall length.
Can be combined with blouses, shirts, T-shirts, sweaters or cardigans.

To complete the look, wear high or mid heels.. Godet is a good option for an evening outfit, in which the skirt will be complemented by a chiffon or silk blouse.

"A" silhouette

An “A” silhouette skirt is a model that fits the waist and hips and flares out towards the knees. This type includes flared or A-line skirts.

These models are a cross between a loose and tight style. A-line skirts look quite sophisticated. Their main advantage is that they hide the volume of the hips. Thus. the silhouette is more balanced and slender. Skirts “A-silhouette” can be worn by plus-size women of any body type.

The most suitable styles for voluminous women's hips are those with a high waist or a rigid wide belt. You should be careful with models with an elastic band or with a drawstring and a cord stretched through it. Products made from light flowing fabrics look more advantageous.

“A” silhouette skirts are quite versatile. They come in different lengths and go well with both dressy and casual top options. It is recommended to pair them with a fitted blouse, jacket or loose-fitting shirt. It is also convenient that these models can be perfectly combined with almost any type of shoe.

Chubby girls of short stature should wear such skirts that are just above the knees. Tall fashionistas, on the contrary, are more suitable for models with a length below the knees.

Tulip

The tulip skirt is an original model with an unusual cut.

It has a fold or wrap in the front, many folds in the hip area and a hem that is narrowed from the level of the knees. Thanks to this style, the figure seems more proportional. These skirts are made from lightweight fabrics that lend themselves well to draping.

The choice of such a model should be treated with special attention.
For girls with a pear or hourglass figure, skirts with a minimum number of pleats on the hips are recommended.
But those who have an “inverted triangle” type figure need to look for a “tulip” skirt with more such pleats.
By the way, this is an excellent option for those with a “rectangular” figure (it is most difficult for them to choose a skirt style).
This skirt is not suitable for girls with an apple figure.

This model looks good with blouses or T-shirts tucked into the waistband. Under no circumstances should the top of the outfit cover the hips..
Only shoes with heels should be worn under this skirt.

Skirts with a frill are a type of straight or a-line skirt, so they are also suitable for full girls.

It is necessary to choose models with a wide straight or asymmetrical frill, which is located at the bottom of the skirt.

The length of a frilled skirt can be slightly below knee level or even reach the ankle.

For those with curvy figures, models made from light, elastic fabrics are more suitable.

In conclusion, we will give some general tips.

Textile

When choosing skirts for full legs and wide hips, you should choose models made from smooth, elastic fabrics. For summer, you can choose skirts made from light fabrics (with the exception of multi-layered organza and chiffon skirts).
You should not wear models made of heavy winter fabrics, such as drape. Denim skirts always look great. You can wear knitted skirts with medium-sized knits and smooth patterns.
Skirts made of leather and shiny fabrics are not recommended.

Colors

Plus-size girls don't need to get hung up on black skirts. The color can be anything, even white. An exception is made only for owners of an “apple” figure who are not recommended to wear light skirts.
But despite this, it should be borne in mind that for plus-sized fashionistas, matte shades of dark green, dark purple, dark blue and dark cherry are preferable. These colors visually reduce volume and add clarity to the silhouette.

There is also no taboo on models made from fabrics with a pattern or color print (preferably a plant theme or abstraction). The main thing is to avoid fabrics with small patterns or horizontal lines. It is allowed to use “checkered” colors, provided that the cutting is done on the bias (this makes the pattern appear diamond-shaped).

Length

For women with full legs and wide hips, it is not recommended to wear ultra-mini. It doesn't look nice. The minimum length should be just above knee level. There are no other restrictions in this matter. Plus-size girls can safely wear mini, midi and maxi skirts that will hide all their imperfections.

Stylists and fashion designers say that voluminous hips are not a reason to have complexes about your appearance. There are many options for how you can use a skirt to highlight your assets and look stylish.

Having a plump figure is not a reason to give up stylish and fashionable clothes. Many girls have complexes about voluminous hips and full legs and refuse to wear skirts. This is completely wrong, since it is in it that any fashionista looks feminine and sophisticated. Today, skirts for obese women are presented in a wide variety of styles that are perfect for creating a business, everyday, and even dressy look.

Straight cut

Straight models are liked by many plus size women, as they are classic products. And the reason for this choice is that such products look not just stylish, but also sexy. Among ladies with a plump body, a pencil skirt is very popular. Thanks to this style, the silhouette becomes slimmer, and you can also highlight all the beauty of the hips and calves, and remove the belly. This style is perfect for creating a strictly office style, as well as for celebrations and parties. A pencil skirt can be combined with a pullover, jacket or shirt.

If you have a pear silhouette, then using the pencil model you can disguise the excess volume on the hips. The top should be fitted or drapey. A straight product, sewn from thick fabric and complemented with vertical shiny inserts, looks great on a lady with curvy figures.

A-line

This style should be considered universal. It is definitely worth purchasing for plus size babies. It is best to pay attention to the A-line model, which has a flared bottom. As for the material, it is best to choose a skirt made of lightweight fabric that can be draped easily. An A-silhouette with an addition in the form of a rigid belt will allow you to disguise excess volume and belly.

Summer models are made from a spatula, Indian gauze or crepe de Chine. Autumn and winter products can be knitted or woolen.

Tulip

This model looks great on plus size women whose hip area is not clearly defined. Since the tulip has sweet spots on the hips, due to them the silhouette is made proportional. Many ladies prefer long skirts, but brave girls do not stop there and boldly try on a mini-length model. Products with a high waistline are in great demand. This option disguises the stomach and visually elongates the silhouette.

With flares

This product looks incredibly beautiful on overweight ladies. It is specially designed for ladies with wide hips, it highlights the waistline, and every curve of the body acquires charm.

Flared, elegant models are made from various materials and colors. The peculiarity of such products is that they can be worn at any time of the year. In addition, this option is ideal for obtaining a daily and formal look.

With edging

This option is in demand, since due to the wide frill it is possible to highlight extra pounds. The frill can go either along a straight line or along a tangent. Choose models made from light and elastic fabric.

With multiple layers

Such products are chosen by plump ones to create a light and interesting look. It is better to pay attention to models made from light white, lilac, cherry fabric, and there should be no more than 3 layers. Plus-size women should choose a multi-layered midi skirt.

Knitted

Ladies with appetizing shapes can choose knitted models that slim their figure. Just make sure that the knitting is not large. Patterns should also not be too large or lacking in texture. The ideal option is a knitted model with a high waistline or elastic. This option will perfectly camouflage the hip area, as well as the stomach.

Sun

If you are looking for clothes for the summer, then you should pay attention to a style such as a circle skirt. Due to the special cut, the silhouette will become light. For ladies with curvy figures, you should choose a circle skirt with a flare that starts from the knee.

Denim models

For those ladies who love casual style, you should pay attention to skirts made of denim. The following advantages of such clothing can be highlighted:

• fits perfectly on a curvy figure;
• can be worn with a shirt and shoes;
• with each wash the product only gets better;
• Available in a wide variety of options.

After purchasing a denim skirt, every fashionista understands that she has grabbed a truly unique product. In addition to the fact that it fits perfectly on curvy figures, its service life is quite long. And this model will never go out of fashion.

In 2017-2018, denim skirts are presented in a wide variety, but chubby skirts will be able to choose options such as godet, a-line, and pencil. As for the length, it can be floor or midi.

Polka dots

This version of the skirt is perfect for plus size women. It is best to choose a polka dot skirt with a sun style. Its length should be slightly above the knees. Be sure to complement your look with high-top shoes. This will make the image interesting and the figure elongated.

In a cage

This print looks good on clothes of various models and lengths. You can choose floor-length skirts with a slit at the back. This model is more suitable for plump women who are over 40 years old. But for young ladies, a checkered skirt can be a bell skirt, flared, straight, and its length is midi.

Length

Looking at the photos of modern clothes for plus size ladies, you can see that the designers have done a good job creating various styles of such clothes. It is necessary to choose the length of the product taking into account the features of the silhouette. You will have to start from the slimness of your legs. If a lady’s legs are beautiful and not chubby, then she can afford to try on clothes a little above the knees.

Midi

These are products whose length reaches to the knee. Such models are very popular among women with extra pounds, as they can disguise flaws well. Skirts with mid-calf length are an option for older ladies. But young girls can please themselves with a wide range of styles, the length of which can be either below the knee or to the knee.

Video tip - how to choose a skirt:

Long

Floor-length skirts visually lengthen the figure and disguise the fullness of the legs. During hot weather, you can wear a version made of soft materials. Maxi length is always popular, as it highlights femininity and makes the silhouette slim. Such products can be used to create a wide variety of styles.

Every year designers develop interesting elegant models of floor-length skirts. They fit perfectly on the hips, and also decorate the figure with a slight flare. If we take clothes in the boho style as an example, then due to the original trim along the hem, the product takes on a beautiful and elegant look. Some models are decorated with delightful prints that look quite interesting on long clothes.

Fashionable shades

This season, fashionable skirts are presented in a different range of shades. Monochrome colors are not inferior in popularity, and these are white, black, gray. Without them, it is impossible to create a single image, especially when it comes to business. Bright and rich colors, as well as nudes, remain no less in demand.

How to choose

Since today there is a fairly wide selection of skirts for a full figure, certain difficulties arise when purchasing. After all, when choosing clothes, it is not enough just to listen to your wishes. It is important to choose a model that would look interesting and disguise extra pounds. And for this you should adhere to the following recommendations:

1. Carefully select the material used to sew the product. The correct landing will depend on this. It is best for fuller women to give preference to smooth and non-embossed materials.
   
2. You'll have to forget about high-density stockings. The fact is that they only add extra pounds. High-top shoes are a unique opportunity for an elongated figure. Even a small heel can make all the difference.
3. Some ladies with appetizing shapes want to wear dark-colored clothes, since such material visually masks unnecessary protruding parts of the body. But no one cancels brightly colored skirts. To beautifully complement the look, you can use contrasting prints. It is important to avoid small patterns and horizontal stripes. Clothes with stripes placed vertically look great.
   
   
   
4. Plus-size women who do not have a defined waistline should use a floor-length skirt on the hips. You can also choose a product in a horizontal checkered pattern.
   
   
5. When choosing a skirt style, you need to start from the type of silhouette. If a lady has a pear body type, then she should pay attention to a product made like a pencil. She will look beautiful, become visually smaller, and her image will become more attractive. If a girl has an apple figure, then you should also buy a pencil skirt, only with a slight flare at the bottom. Flared clothing is a great option for ladies with an inverted triangle silhouette.
   
6. For an apple figure, a straight product or with a slight extension at the bottom looks great. The flared model is suitable for ladies with an inverted triangle figure. An hourglass-shaped figure is considered ideal. Such girls can afford any type of clothing. Ladies with a rectangular silhouette should abandon tight-fitting products, and they will have to focus on the waistline.
   
   
   

One of the main and most feminine elements of the wardrobe are long skirts for plus size. Depending on the style, material, color, they can become the basis of a holiday set or an excellent element of clothing that you cannot do without on vacation.

Models of long skirts for plus size

In the new fashion season of 2013, long skirts for obese women are presented in a huge variety of unusual original styles and models of skirts for obese women, which have long become classics and have been reborn thanks to the use of new fabrics and unusual colors. As you can see in the photo, various models of maxi skirts have much in common and at the same time, each of them is unique. Long skirts for plus-size women, due to special cutting techniques, fit perfectly and disguise the less beautiful parts of the body of women with a non-standard figure. The designers made sure that plump fashionistas looked like the models in the photos in fashion magazines.

The most trendy long skirts in the new season are:

• Multi-tiered models made from natural lightweight fabrics - cotton gauze, linen, crepe de Chine. Most often, this cut is used for summer skirts with a number of tiers from three to six.
• Flared skirts with an asymmetrical hem, softly hug the hips and flare out towards the bottom, balancing the silhouette.
• A-line skirts made of light plastic fabrics with narrow or wide elastic. They can be made with or without a drawstring.
• Straight wide skirts with a low wide belt made of heavy elastic fabrics that drape and form soft folds.
• Six-piece skirts and those cut in a bias pattern are very popular, thanks to which the figure of a plump woman looks much more graceful.
• Wrap skirts look impressive and, depending on the fabric chosen, can be worn for everyday or weekend wear. Such skirts are very comfortable and, due to their plasticity, are suitable for women of any size, perfectly hiding too protruding shapes.
• An excellent option for a holiday skirt - with a short front and a long back hem that looks like a real train.
• Models that combine fabrics of different textures - transparent top and thick lining. This combination creates a spectacular, luxurious look.

Long skirt color for plus size people

Long skirts for obese women 2013 come in a variety of colors and patterns. If they are intended for special occasions, then deep tones and discreet designs that emphasize the special nature of the event would be more appropriate. Ideal summer skirts are bright, romantic, light. In the new season, oriental-style colors will be very popular, combining a huge variety of colors, sometimes contrasting with each other. As you can see in the photo, these can be skirts with floral or geometric patterns, with a wide border at the bottom of the hem - an interesting technique that allows you to correctly place accents and divert attention from wide hips.

Despite the fact that light colors are considered unacceptable for overweight women, summer is the season that breaks these stereotypes. The use of light colors in maxi skirts for plus-size women is compensated by the peculiarities of the cut. The main trend that can be seen in the colors of long skirts is a small pattern without the use of large prints, which is very clearly visible in the presented photos. Thanks to this, the lower part of a plump woman’s body looks somewhat smaller, and due to the vertical arrangement of the ornaments, it is visually stretched and narrowed.

Long skirts for plus size people, photo

Long skirts are a great way for plump women to somewhat modify their figure, making it sleeker and slimmer. We offer you a selection of photos of beautiful stylish skirts that will decorate the wardrobe of any woman.

For many modern women who have reached the age of 50, unfortunately, the concept of “sense of style” is alien. Ladies, citing their advanced age, begin to choose those things that, in their opinion, are comfortable and look appropriate for their age. Beautiful dresses and skirts are replaced by shapeless trousers and wide sweaters, forgetting that skirts are the most feminine part of a woman’s wardrobe.

And the main principle of choosing a wardrobe is femininity and elegance. This article will help women over 50 years old choose the right styles of skirts that suit their figure. See photo below.

Many older ladies prefer mid-calf-length skirts, but only a few of them really suit this style. This length makes the silhouette look heavy and shortens the length of the legs. And the dark shade of the skirt makes the situation even worse.

The most suitable styles of skirts for women over 50 years old (with photos)

Expert advice will help you make your choice:

• Knee-length skirts are the most suitable option for an everyday model;

• A godet skirt would be a good option for an informal meeting;

• A tulip or wrap skirt will add tenderness to the look.

You should not choose fluffy skirt models, skirts with a peplum and with unnecessary pretentious decorative details.

Models above the knee are acceptable, but they are suitable only for slender ladies who have preserved the beauty of their legs.

Among floor-length skirts, it is better to choose models in calm shades with a straight or A-shaped cut.

Which skirt is a must have in your closet for a special occasion?

Your wardrobe must have a straight-cut skirt; with the right top, such a model will help create a festive look.

Stylish skirts this season can combine unusual details, such as a small slit or light flounces. Skirts of such an unusual cut will add sex appeal to the image and make the holiday set lighter and more informal.

Skirts with a pattern are not appropriate for mature women; even summer holiday models are best chosen in plain colors. If you want the skirt to be the center of the look, then it is better to choose models made of textured fabric - this will add charm to the look.

Summer models of women's skirts for those over 50

When creating an image for a summer wardrobe, you need to remember that classic-cut skirts go well with light-colored shirts and blouses tucked in. At the same time, the skirt itself does not have to be dark; rich summer shades would be an excellent option. But combining a classic skirt with a T-shirt is not the best option; it will add prostate to the look.

Summer skirts are characterized by light shades such as beige or gray. But don’t neglect bright colors such as green or coral. But pink shades should be avoided - they are more relevant for young girls.

Winter skirt models for older ladies: fashion trends of the season

Winter skirts should be warm and comfortable. It is advisable to leave long models for the warmer seasons - the best option would be skirts just below the knee. Skirts made of woolen suiting fabric are suitable for work, and for a walk or shopping you can wear a knitted model, but knitted skirts should be avoided. The color scheme should be muted, as bright shades will not be appropriate.

Demi-season skirts (autumn-winter season)

Autumn and spring skirts should be made of dense but light fabric. Straight or slightly flared models will be especially relevant. The color scheme should be predominantly light, but skirts in deep red or blue colors will add mood to the look.

What shoes should I choose to match with my skirt?

Like the overall look, shoes for 50-year-old women should adhere to the classic style. In the winter season, it is better to choose knee-high boots made of genuine leather or suede. Shoes should be stable, preferably with a small heel. It is better to exclude the presence of all kinds of decorative details; for an elegant mature woman it will be unnecessary.

The choice of shoes for the warm season is much wider, but it is worth remembering that not every model will go well with a skirt. When choosing shoes, you should opt for classic pumps with a small heel. But the color scheme can be any, the main thing is that it matches the chosen look.

In summer shoe models, you should avoid excessive decor and youth elements. Also, shoes with wedges or platforms will look inappropriate.

If shoes with heels are not comfortable, then you should choose comfortable leather moccasins; in combination with a skirt of almost any cut, they will look harmonious.

A woman should always be feminine and elegant. Every lady's wardrobe should have mostly skirts, because they add grace and nobility to style. A correctly selected model makes it possible to create many unusual looks for different occasions; all that remains is to choose the appropriate top and the outfit is ready. If choosing the right skirt is difficult, then this article, which provides examples with photos, can help solve this problem.

A plump woman's wardrobe usually has a lot of skirts. And it is quite understandable why this subject is given such preference. A good model is able to correctly emphasize rounded feminine shapes, hide figure flaws, making it slimmer and more attractive. It doesn’t matter what the style will be: “pencil” for business meetings, a flowing floor-length skirt for the summer or a long woolen one for the cold season - it is important to choose the right silhouette so that it looks advantageous on a full female figure. We advise you to review your wardrobe in accordance with the fashion trends of the year in order to choose current models, and, perhaps, buy something new. The skirts offered by designers for obese women in 2017 are very diverse.

Models for every taste

Before choosing a suitable model, decide on the length. Overweight women should not expose their hips. The minimum you can afford is knee length. Even a small deviation from this norm towards a decrease can significantly change the perception of the image. Try not to cross this line. As for the maximum length, here you are free to choose. Long floor-length skirts, for example, are trendy this season.

Drawing strict lines

One of the most advantageous styles of skirts, according to the advice of fashion designers, for obese women is the pencil skirt. This style, on the one hand, does not add excess volume to the figure, and with skillful selection, even visually hides it. On the other hand, it is also suitable for going to work, going out, and leisurely walks around the city. Most of these models this year are presented in muted colors. They can be very narrowed or straight. The length also varies slightly: to the knees or to the middle of the shin. Here, for example, is a pencil skirt from Armani:

The color is dark blue, monochromatic, however, the lack of colors is compensated by the play of textures. On the front you can see a small slit, which is disguised by an insert made of another material. Pay attention to how this insert is positioned: the tapered cut makes the figure even slimmer, making the hips visually smaller and the legs slimmer.

Note! In general, inserts should not be neglected if the figure is full. Sometimes a contrasting insert can visually remove five centimeters from the hips or waist - and this is very noticeable.

And here is a skirt from Nina Ricci. Due to its special texture, it looks sophisticated and even chic.

And the light tint of black material and golden zippers add even more elegance to the woman. This model will attract admiring glances even in the office. Ideal for business meetings.

Elisa Fanti also suggests that plus size women wear a “pencil”. In our opinion, this model is suitable for older women.

It would seem that there is nothing special in the cut of this model, but the unobtrusive golden pattern and bow-shaped appliqué are the highlight of this look.

However, a business look is not only black and dark blue. Other shades are also allowed, such as brown, dark green and cherry, fashionable this season. This high-waisted model from Roberto Cavalli is not suitable for everyone, but only for plump women without a belly. However, stores offer skirts in 52 sizes.

And this model is offered by Italian designer Luisa Spagnoli. It looks simply amazing with an emerald office blouse and embroidered ankle boots.

In cherry color you can buy clothes from Elisa Fanti:

Or how do you like this gray skirt paired with a jacket? On the sides you can see inserts of black lace, which give the model a certain charm.

In general, designers in 2017 have a special weakness for lace. Of course, plump women should be careful with lace, but as for the “pencil” silhouette, this material is most common here. Lace skirts are mostly intended for romantic meetings. And, I must say, the images created with its help are truly mesmerizing. For example, this model from Vuall can be purchased in sizes up to 50:

And this one in white from Elisa Fanti:

However, the mass market is not lagging behind. This charming turquoise lace skirt is offered by one of the popular online stores at a very affordable price.

An even bolder option - made from artificial or genuine leather - can be afforded by self-confident chubby women.

For a casual option, overweight women should consider a denim pencil skirt. Models can be with the typical short front closure or a placket and buttons, which allows you to leave several buttons at the bottom undone, varying the length of the cut.

It would seem, what to wear with a pencil skirt? Only with complete jackets, blouses and shirts? However, if the dress code allows or you are simply going to the city, you can combine it with turtlenecks, cardigans, sweaters. And don't forget that this style requires high-heeled shoes. The only exception may be denim models.

For women with a belly, you can also choose a pencil skirt. This nuance can be successfully masked by a long blouse (and the waist must be emphasized with a strap) or a jacket.

Flared skirts: an integral part of a romantic and summer look

If the “pencil” style is not to your liking, then you definitely shouldn’t give up the flared model. The belly and overly voluminous hips will be hidden under the coattails. An important condition is that the belt should be located in the narrowest place, even if it is a little higher than what is usually worn, but the clothes should definitely not dangle on the stomach.

If it is difficult to choose a skirt in a store, then you can easily sew it yourself. Even beginners can handle it. The pattern is very easy to make. You only need to take a few measurements: waist circumference, abdominal circumference at the widest point, hip circumference and length. It's quite easy to cut out a circle skirt or a flared model with one seam with gathering at the waist, which is gathered with an elastic band. More experienced craftswomen may not even use a pattern, but make markings directly on the fabric.

Flared skirts below the knee or mid-calf length look very elegant:

However, long options for the summer in combination with high-heeled shoes or pumps will not only be comfortable, but also beautiful.

Pleated and pleated - this year's trends

This year, not only the mass market, but also famous designers are offering full ladies to wear pleated or pleated skirts, not only plain ones, but also printed ones. This model with a striped print, for example, is offered by Marina Rinaldi:

There are also plain ones in her collection:

As for pleated styles, the fabric is placed under a belt or yoke, opening towards the bottom of the hem:

Year style

This year the godet style has returned to the fashion catwalks. And obese women can use this. Clothes can be made from knitwear, jacquard, even velvet, if this is an evening option. A properly selected year skirt will create a graceful silhouette. This style must be treated very carefully, as it can visually add several years to a woman, but, on the other hand, this option is elegant.

Winter models and materials

If a skirt is intended for winter, then it must protect against the cold, and this imposes certain restrictions on the choice of material. It can be wool or thick knitwear. In addition, it must keep its shape so as not to “stick” to the figure in the wind. Designers suggest wearing long skirts made of warm fabrics in the winter of 2017-2018.

Fashionable wardrobe shades

This year you can choose from a wide range of shades. Monochrome colors remain popular: black, white and gray. You literally can’t go anywhere without them, especially when it comes to a business wardrobe. But you won’t be bored either. Among the fashionable shades there are rich, bright and delicate pastels:

• blue (deep rich shade and dark);
• green (emerald, dark muted shades and shades of mustard);
• brown (including chocolate);
• beige;
• cherry and other shades of red;
• pink, purple and their shades (fuchsia, pink);
• powdery shades.

Skirts with inserts look interesting on curvy figures. They are also relevant this year. They are mainly sewn from knitwear.

Recently, the term color blocking has become widespread. However, behind the new word lies nothing more than a combination of several contrasting colors in clothing. In the 2017 models, this direction is presented in the most complete way. Depending on the cut, a color-blocking skirt is suitable for office work, friendly meetings, and shopping.

The colors, as you can see, are still not too bright and flashy, but overweight women don’t need that. But this approach helps to hide volume where it is needed and divert attention from figure flaws.

Prints: check, stripe and floral

As for fashionable prints, there is also a lot of variety here. The first place is taken by the cell. It is found in all sorts of variations: large, small, oblique, plaid, made with thin, barely noticeable or bright contrasting lines. We invite you to see for yourself the diversity by looking at the photos:

You will notice that if the cage is large, then the cut is made on the bias. This arrangement of the cage makes you look slimmer, and even a full figure looks more graceful.

Another popular trend this year is pinstripes. There are models of skirts with a fairly noticeable pattern, but there are also those where the stripe creates a ripple effect and shimmers in the folds. Moreover, the strip, despite the well-known rule, can be both longitudinal and transverse.

Polka dot print remains appropriate in 2017. It's not at the height of fashion, but it's popular. If you like this print, stick with the small pattern. It is the small pattern that suits full ladies.

An oriental print is also noticeable among others - “oriental cucumbers”, complex small patterns. For example:

The absolute leader among prints in 2017 is floral. It is presented in such variety that the eyes run wild. The colors are very different: soft pink flowers on a gray, beige, bluish background or bright red, pink flowers on a black background. The size of the flowers is also for every taste, from the smallest to huge flowers - two or three per hem. Be sure to buy some model with a floral pattern for the summer: flared to the floor, pencil, A-line - it doesn’t matter.

Pastel flowers

These are the fashion trends this year. Even famous designers have turned towards plus size women and are releasing plus size collections, creating an even greater variety of choice. It’s not at all necessary to buy new clothes if you have a checkered, striped, or floral skirt similar to the models presented in the article hanging in your closet - it may well become your favorite this season, and if you don’t have one, it’s time to update your wardrobe.
