I’ve been seeing these plus size tiered dresses at a few different retailers.
I think they’re a fresh design and very pretty to look at on the models. But I have yet to see one on an actual plus sized person, and given the way these dresses are cut, I question whether it’s a good look for an actual plus sized person.
I’m concerned that the choppy layers might add bulk, or that they detract from the overall silhouette. But I can’t tell until I see it on a few shapes and sizes - nothing works for everyone, but I’m not sure who these pieces would work for.
Has anyone bought one of these dresses? Do you have pictures you’d be willing to share, along with your thoughts on it?
