i am just trying to wear dress that don't emphasize my big size

You are not limited to the black color though, it depends on the cut and the direction of the colors. I used to wear black all the time until someone told me that black makes me look sad all the time, so I tried on colors. Colors gives colors to life hehe.. Anyhow, just try and look at your body in the mirror, where are the "big" parts you don't want to be seen? and which parts are your asset? Then from there, you can choose your wardrobe. Further, don't underestimate the power of wearing the right underwear. Most people take those for granted but those actually help. If you wear the right size bra, the top portion wouldn't look heavy or soggy, instead, it accentuates the curves and you'd actually look smart (perhaps because of poise). I have bigger top than hips, so I make sure that my sleeves are cut in a way that my arms wouldn't look bigger than my hips. Further, I avoid long dresses so that I wouldn't look plump and short. I love skin tones too because I'd look clean. But of course, colors adds more happiness as well. You mentioned you looked good in a particular dress. Check out the cut of that dress, why did it make you look good? I doubt it's all because it was black. Then use that dress to pattern out other outfits. Have a great mylot experience ahead!

Everyone of us want to look good in all clothes, but not always it is possible. I too noticed that I look better in black clothes. I am sure that color have only little part of it. Also big part have clothes fabric. The main thing is just buy clothes on what you feel great not because they are just amazing.

Black is a good color for dresses or outfits, because this color, as i have proven many times does not compliment the weak features of our body and it tends to hide the fat, or baby fats in our curves. =) I like dark colored dresses too, and not only for the way it makes your body look, but also that it is the color that would hide or help you not show what's underneath (especially when you are under a strong light) some dresses' colors just give you out and it can make others see though a bit.

Hello there hotsummer! We share the same sentiment, I am on the extra baggage too hahaha.I wear comfortable dresses since it's summer here in my country.And yes all my clothes are on extra size because I always go for comfort in my clothes not that I am shy to flaunt what I have in extras.,I love my body size and I am not shy to let everyone see me as a ft girl it's not that I am boastful or something., it's the way I am raised and that's the real me.I try to wear clothes that will not make me a laughing stock of anyone who sees me.I wear clothes that is best for my size and age and best for the affair or venue that I am going in.

Fat is not ugly. Just choose a dress that you like. Don't try to hide you size.... it won't work. You have a nice dress and you wear it with confidence - Size will be the last thing people remember.

yes black do make you look slimmer.also i find if you buy clothes with elastic or loose fitting clothes it won't make you look big.

I think there are clothes that will complement your size, depending on how "big" or "small" you are. Some obese women find it hard to hide their body, but I think it's not the matter of hiding, it's about finding the right clothes, color, and cut of the clothes for you. And the best accessory of course it your confidence. What ever you wear just be confident with your body because it will reflect on how you carry yourself.

I am also fond of wearing black clothes. However, since it is almost summer here, I don't think that wearing black could make me feel better about the weather. So I wear other colored shirts and blouses but most of the time I wear shorts. It's so hot these days, I swear, I feel like fainting sometimes. As with the silhouette of the dresses that I wear, I wear something that is cut in the middle or just above the hips. I have stayed away from baby dolls coz it really makes me look pregnant.

Black does makes one appear slimmer. Also, irregular cut or asymmetrical patterns tend to draw away the attention to problem areas. It just lessens the emphasis on the hips and makes the illusion of a more slender waist.
