How do you choose a size 48 evening dress that flatters your figure?

Look for a dress that sits well on the shoulders, gently defines the waist and then falls freely. A-line and belted styles highlight the waist without tightening over the tummy or hips. Draping fabrics such as chiffon and crepe move softly and do not cling. A-line: widens gradually from the waist. Belted: lets you define the waist as you like. Wide sleeves: stay comfortable all evening.

Which colours work best for a size 48 evening dress?

Deep shades such as navy, burgundy and emerald look elegant, and matching your hijab to the dress creates one long, streamlined line. Check your measurements against the size chart on each product page before you choose. For more options, browse our plus size evening dresses.
