Infinity Dress Question & Socks Question

[sesmo]

The two questions are not related, even I wouldn't wear crew socks with a fancy dress

I think you should be fine with the dress - I know there are other manufacturers of that style of dress and they cater to plus size

the gallery has a couple (not many) pics of plus ladies

I looked through the galleries, and didn't see too many plus size folk. The few I saw were either wearing a style I consider unflattering on everyone (boob bags are just not flattering), or were not top heavy.

There was someone on fatshionista awhile back who bought a very similar convertible dress, and she had a blog too, with a lot of extra pictures... Check the memories? It looked awesome, that was for sure.

[sesmo]

Ooh, I'd love to see that. I browsed memories and Googled but didn't find it. Did find a pointer to MonifC's site, which has some better pictures (with models that are plus size even). But as always, models regardless of size look like models. I do not.

Have you searched monif c convertible dresses on youtube? There are several videos of her doing different styles on individuals. I don't know if any of them are a size 28 to give you a feel for how you would look in the dress, but they are definitely not a 14. Monif herself is in the videos and probably a size 24, but extremely busty. She is usually wearing one of the dresses, I think.

There's always the plunge-type bras that you could wear. They look like instruments of torture, but IMO would be better than having my girls pop out in the middle of a wedding. other than that I think the dress would look fab on a fatshionista.

I have yet to find a bra that actually manages to lift & separate that is not built like armor. No strapless/plunge/fancy bras for me. I guess I could go the corset route (which I did for my own wedding).

If you've got a corset, I would say totally go for that dress - the way it's cut, it'll look better on a curvaceous lady like yourself than it looks on any of their models.

monif c makes a pretty awesome plus size convertible dress, if you want to see that style dress on a non-size 2 body.

Thanks!

I was just going to suggest checking out Monif C's infinity dress page (http://www.monifc.com/marilyn-convertible-dress.html) for ideas on how it will look.

I made my infinity dress (it's not hard - two long rectangles attached to a circle skirt) and have had mixed results with it. I find that to get it to stay put in the style I wrap it in I have to wrap it really tight... so wearing it sleeved like the model you linked to is interesting. I also made mine with a modesty band so I could wear my bra with it. (My girls need support, it's just how it is.) I think you can buy a modesty band to coordinate with your infinity dress too.

[sesmo]

Thanks! I'd definitely get the matching modesty band, because most of the interesting looking forms look like they'd show too much back for me.

Have you posted pictures of your dress? Would you mind doing it?
