How to Dress your Plus Size Princess to Downsize her Look

by | Jan 15, 2015 | Shopping and Fashion

If you have a lovely daughter who is plus size it can be hard to make her feel good about herself. As she gets older she will begin to compare herself to other girls which can lead to body image issues. You can help your daughter feel good about herself by not drawing attention to her plus size. Instead you can look for clothes that will downsize her look and make her feel less self conscious about her size. Here are some tips to help when shopping for Plus Size Kids Clothes.

Style

Unfortunately what is in style might not be the right look for a plus size girl. That means you have to get creative and look for clothes that will allow her to look fashionable without drawing attention to her size. For example short shorts and tight tees are not the right look for a girl with more size around the waist. Instead look for cute knee length leggings in darker colours paired with cute tees with more of a flared cut so they are not tight to her tummy. Empire waists are ideal for girls with a tummy as they are tighter across the arms and chest and have a pretty flare that is cute especially with leggings. As well tunic style jerseys and sweaters tend to be less clingy. Lower cuts of pants can often work well for larger girls as well but you also have to consider comfort.

Patterns

When looking at patterns they often work well to detract from the tummy area on tops, but can make things worse on the bottom. Avoid plus size children’s clothes with busy patterns on items such as leggings. Look for pretty patterns in your child’s favorite colors for tops that will make them feel pretty and also help camouflage a tummy that might make her feel self conscious. The trick is to choose smaller, more delicate patterns as opposed to larger geometrics. So you would go for gingham over a large plaid and small flowers over large geometrics for example.

Color

Dark colors are slimming whereas lighter colors can add weight. This can be difficult for a little girl who might like to wear pinks and lavenders. Look for deeper colors or pair brighter colors with darker leggings and pants to help add a more slimming touch to her wardrobe.

Working with your daughter to find clothes that will make her look and feel slimmer will help keep her confidence up. Keep this in mind when shopping for plus size kids clothes online at shops such as.
