Plus Size Metrostyle Twill Jumpsuit

When jumpsuits broke onto the fashion scene in the spring, some people thought they were nothing more than a flash in the pan that would fizzle out before they caught on. That's not the case though. Not only did this trendy style show up on numerous fashion runways in the spring fashion shows, but since then the jumpsuit has proven that, for now, it is here to stay. They have taken the semi-formal evening wear area by storm because they make a nice alternative to a cocktail dress. Celebrities like Jennifer Hudson are wearing them, and big names like Prada are creating them. When it comes to knit plus size jumpsuits you'll find them available through a number of well-known outlets:

• Rocawear
• Baby Phat
• Jessica London
• Apple Bottoms

When buying a knit jumpsuit for a curvy, plus size figure, it is important to try the jumpsuit on. Just because a jumpsuit looks good on a mannequin or plus size catalog model doesn't mean it will accentuate your positives. Instead, it may do just the opposite. Here are a few tips to help you find a knit jumpsuit that will flatter your curves.

Some of these tips may be common sense to some but not to others, but it is worth mentioning them all:

• Avoid head to toe patterns. This tip isn't just for plus size women, it's for everyone. Choosing a jumpsuit that covers you from head to toe in a pattern will give you a dated '80s look. What you want to do is pick a solid color that provides a sophisticated, modern flair. Solid colors are easier to accessorize as well.
• Wide legs. Knits can hug curves, sometimes curves we'd rather not show off. If you pick a jumpsuit with wide legs it will be comfortable, fashionable, and concealing. Plus wide legs add a flowing quality that lets you move through the room with grace.
• Jumpsuits make a refreshing alternative to a cocktail dress.
• Be wary of buying short jumpsuits because they have a tendency to look more like lingerie or underwear.

Choosing the right accessories can dress up your jumpsuit. Here are a few ideas:

• Add a leather blazer
• Add a trendy belt
• Large earrings
• A large handbag or a clutch purse

If you're among those who have ignored jumpsuits until now, you're not alone. Many women have thought they can't pull it off "the look." However, today's fabrics and plus size styles are designed to flatter the fuller figure. The real trick is to find something you like that looks good on you. Choose a calf-length or full-length style that has a waist. After all you want it to be feminine, and not something reminiscent of a gas station attendant's coveralls.

By choosing a calf-length style, it breaks up your silhouette. When you add the right accessories, they should balance the look. Don't be afraid to layer two necklaces as part of your ensemble for evening wear. Add the right belt, shoes and jewelry, and your new jumpsuit will be an attention grabber. Find the right fit and fabric and you'll feel pretty and ooze confidence.
