3. Wrap-Style Abaya or Open Cardigan Coat
For those who love traditional modest wear, an abaya is a one-piece, flowy over-garment. However, a modern wrap-style abaya that cinches with an internal tie (or a belt over the outside) is far more flattering than a straight, boxy abaya.
Alternative for non-abaya wearers: A long, open-front cardigan coat (duster cardigan) worn over a simple maxi dress or skinny trousers. The open front creates a long, unbroken vertical line.
Why chubby girls love this: The wrap creates an hourglass illusion without squeezing the body. The flowing fabric hides lower belly and hip bulk.
