6. Fit-and-Flare Midi Dress with Sleeves
A fit-and-flare dress is fitted through the bust and shoulders (not tight) and flares out from the natural waist. Look for a version with elbow-length or long sleeves and a hemline that hits below the knee (mid-calf is perfect for modesty).
Why it is a top idea for chubby girls: It highlights your smallest point (your natural waist or just below your bust) and flows over everything else. This is the most universally flattering silhouette in fashion history.
Patterns to try: Small vertical prints, dark florals, or pinstripes. Avoid large, horizontal prints.
