Plus Size Indian Clothing Ideas for Different Occasions

Each one of us is beautiful in our own way, and it is high time that we learn to accept the beauty of a body, how amazing it can be, and fall in love with it. Self-love and believing in oneself are always the most important.

Body positivity is what we can see influencers and celebrities propagating everywhere, yet many websites still sell Indian ethnic dresses, available only up to a particular size. But we at Like A Diva adore women of all shapes and sizes, and thus we are loved so much. With the exquisite collection of ethnic dresses, we encourage women to get ready in those stunning outfits and confidently walk around in them.

The Stunning Indian Outfits for Plus-Size

Bridal Lehengas

Who doesn’t want to look beautiful on their D-Day? Thus, choosing the perfect bridal lehenga, in terms of cuts, colours and handiwork become important. Darker shades like red, magenta, dark orange, wine, navy blue, bottle green, are some of the favourite shades for bridal lehengas. Black is a universal favourite, so you can go for a black lehenga too.

When you have a broad structure, just flaunt it. Wear a choli with a V-neck or high collar. You can also have a little deep neckline. Go for smaller prints, embroideries or embellishments, or lehengas with vertical panels that would give you a better fit.

Plus-Size Salwar Kameez

No event is incomplete without a nice salwar suit. Be it a festival, a wedding party or as daily wear, there is no Indian outfit that can take its place.

Floor-touching Anarkali Suits are perfect for all your pre-wedding ceremonies like Mehendi, Haldi, or Sangeet and are fit to be worn at festivals too. The floor-touching length and flared hem of the Anarkali suits easily distract people off your tummy and thigh areas.

Designer Sharara Suits or Palazzo salwar suits are great choices for curvaceous women. They are not only very much in trend but are also very comfortable wear. Choose soft, flowy fabrics like satin, net, chiffon, satin, net, or georgette that allow your body to create a nice silhouette. These fabrics have nice fall, thus providing a dreamy, flowy look to your ensemble. You can also choose a jacket-style salwar suit, which is much in trend nowadays during festive days. Complete your look with a lightweight designer dupatta that is flowy and easy to carry.

You can also choose to wear long Kurtis with side or front slits. These long Kurtis provide an elongated look. Try to keep it simple with designer work along the neckline or yoke, hemline, sleeves, or on the bottoms. Slim pants too are the trend of this season, so why don’ you go for it?

Indo-Western Gowns

If you are not very comfortable in wearing Indian ethnic wear, but still want something like a traditional outfit, Indian evening gowns would be the best choice for you. Indo-western dresses or Anarkali dresses provide a Disneyesque look. You can choose necklines like sweetheart, deep-u, or V to highlight your curves.

A Favourite of Plus-Size Women: Saree

Sarees in lighter fabrics like chiffon, net, or georgette give you a flowy effect without making you look broad. Keep open your pallu instead of pinning it up, that will help you cover your midriff. Sarees with small prints or vertical stripes are perfect for plus-size women. Wide borders or horizontal printed sarees are a big NO-NO.

Some Tips While Choosing Plus Size Outfits for Women

• Deep or plunging necks for blouses or cholis to create a glamorous look at every party that you attend. V-necklines are another favourable choice for broader frames. Lighter flowy fabrics and dark colours are things that you should look out for.
• For an overall slimming look, opt for full-sleeves or 3/4th sleeves. Fitted full sleeves shape your arms and impart an even smarter look.
• If you are opting for prints, choose small scattered prints. If going for stripes, choose thin, horizontal stripes.
