Women with a non-standard figure must know how to dress correctly and choose clothes so that they emphasize all the advantages of curvy figures. After all, the outfits of skinny fashionistas will not suit them at all - and vice versa.

At the moment, stores offer a huge range of “plus size” clothing. However, if you know how to sew and can choose the style and model that suits your figure yourself, then an impeccable wardrobe is guaranteed. It is especially important to focus on skirts that suit plus-size women in the first place.
How to choose a skirt model depending on your figure
There are no universal cut skirts. That is why, before choosing a model, you should decide on your figure type and understand what clothes will decorate you.

- Hourglass. It is considered the most desirable body type for all representatives of the fair sex. Parts of the body such as the chest, waist and hips of this type are clearly defined. The main problem is to correctly emphasize these advantages and not turn the figure into a “rectangle” with the wrong clothes. It is better to choose A-line skirts, tulips and pencil skirts. From fabrics - prefer soft ones; There may be minor draperies; pleating should be abandoned in favor of smooth options.
- Pear. Girls with this type of figure have clearly defined hips and at the same time have small, narrow shoulders. The goal is to cover your hips with concealing clothing and balance your figure. Light, flowy fabrics that distract attention from the volume of the lower body will help cope with this. Among the styles, the best choice would be A-line and circle skirt. Decor and prints should be vertical: folds, vertical stripes, elongated pockets.
- Apple. Flaws in the figure include large hips and an ill-defined waist. Advantages: beautiful slender legs. “Apple” girls are advised to avoid pencil skirts or models with a wide belt, as they will focus on what they would like to hide. They should prefer an asymmetrical cut, high waist and decorative elements on the hips.
- Inverted triangle. This type is distinguished by a massive upper body (prominent shoulders and chest) and a very small lower body (narrow waist and hips, thin legs). Balancing your figure is easier than others, because you only need to add the missing volume in the hip area. Skirts made of wedges, pleated, with peplum and any other models with decor that add volume will help you make this.
- Rectangle. Disadvantages: rather “masculine” type, in which there is practically no waist. Usually the owners lack femininity. However, it is worth noting that “rectangle” girls suit many styles of skirts, especially those that are undesirable for all other types. The only thing that is better to avoid are straight-cut models, which make them heavier and enhance the “rectangular” effect. As a replacement, multi-tiered options with a low waist, all kinds of large prints and voluminous details in the hip area are selected.
What skirts are suitable for plus size ladies?
Today there is a huge variety of skirt models on the market, which differ in the following characteristics:
Fashionable skirts for plus size women
There are many variations of skirts that are suitable for girls and women who have curvy figures. And in order for such a piece of clothing to decorate its owner, it should be chosen not only taking into account fashion trends, but also taking into account body types.
“Apple”: ladies with a protruding tummy can hide such a small flaw under a tutu or circle skirt that is fashionable this year.
“Pear”: if a representative of the fair sex has hip volume exceeding chest volume, you can balance the proportions with the help of a stylish wrap skirt or an A-line skirt.
“Hourglass”: since this type of figure is considered the standard, its owner can afford to wear absolutely any skirt. But in this case, a strict pencil skirt will look most advantageous.
“Rectangle”: representatives of the fair sex who do not have a pronounced waist need to artificially focus attention on it.
Accordingly, any skirt with elastic or a model with horizontal stripes in the waist area will look appropriate on such a girl.
Modern material
So, when choosing a skirt for the cold season, you should take a closer look at models made of velvet, viscose, thick knitwear and leather.
To sew trendy summer clothing, lace, silk, lightweight knitwear, chiffon and leather are used.
Undesirable models
Girls with an appetizing, curvaceous figure suit a variety of skirt models that make them even more feminine and attractive. But there are options that it is better to write off any overweight girl without exception.
- Bag skirts. The fact that such a model “hides” extra pounds is a big misconception. On the contrary, it will add several sizes.
- Low-waisted skirts. In most cases, it burdens the silhouette, which negatively affects the image as a whole.
- Skirt-pants. Ambiguous option. You can wear this style, but you need to choose it extremely carefully, since the wrong model can shorten your legs and make your figure heavier.
- Mini skirts. They suit only those who are very thin and slender; the “chubby” is made shapeless and unattractive
- Too narrow. They not only hinder movement and bring discomfort, but also highlight all the imperfections of the figure.

Pattern and sewing of a summer skirt
Below is a skirt pattern for obese women, based on a standard straight skirt pattern with two seams. To make it easier to construct a drawing, the parameters of the basic pattern are changed.
- The first thing to do is reduce the length of the back of the pattern.
- 2-2.5 cm is added to the half-circumference of the hips. The resulting excess fabric is divided by the number of darts, each of them is increased by the resulting value of millimeters.
- The figure below shows how to draw cut lines.
- On the front piece, a cut is made along long lines to move the edges of the fabric to the required distance.
- The lower part needs to be narrowed. All these manipulations will lead to the fact that the excess extensions are compensated and the skirt will ultimately fit perfectly to the figure.
- When constructing the back of the skirt, remember to initially reduce the length of the back of the pattern.

The instructions will help you sew an original skirt for the summer using a simple pattern.
For ease of wearing and due to the characteristics of summer fabrics, it is better to avoid using a zipper. The model includes a drawstring belt and elastic band. Choose a beautiful, seasonally appropriate fabric, and more than half the work is done.

To make both sewing and wearing a skirt comfortable and pleasant, choose a light, draping, natural fabric. The ideal option would be cotton or linen. A fabric width of 1.5 meters is quite enough. The length of the canvas will vary from 1 m to 1.70 m depending on your size.

After cutting the fabric, proceed directly to sewing.
Progress
- Fold the allowances left during cutting along the side sections and hem of the skirt to the wrong side, iron them with an iron and sew on a machine.
- Place the front left and right seams over each other by 30 cm and baste.
- To create a drawstring, iron the top allowances inside out. Fold it in 3cm and machine stitch it. Don't forget to leave an open area on the back piece where the elastic will be threaded later.
- Thread the elastic band and sew the ends together. Sew the opening left earlier for it.
How to make DIY patterns for obese women
The first pattern, for any figure, should be the base of a straight skirt. Using simple modeling techniques, on its basis you can build and sew a large number of models from different types of fabrics.
First, a preliminary calculation is made based on the measurements taken. As a result, for construction there is the width of the front and back panels, the length of the product and the general opening of the darts.
Reference! The number of darts and their length depend on the size and body type. For a figure with a belly, darts along the waistline in front are not calculated.
When cutting the base for modeling, you should take into account the desired silhouette of the future skirt.
The right skirt size is secret number one
The main mistake of many beauties with curvy figures is choosing too loose, baggy clothes. Such models, although they hide unsightly folds on the body, visually increase fullness even more.
The second mistake is choosing clothes that are too tight. This looks completely vulgar. After all, a tight outfit flaunts even the smallest fold at the waist.
Skirts for women with a protruding belly should be exactly the size that suits the lady. This is the main secret of the visual harmony of a curvaceous beauty.
High waist and wide belt - secret number two
Some people believe that skirts are absolutely contraindicated for women with a belly. This is an incorrect judgment. It’s just that when choosing a style, it is important to determine where to make the waist (may readers forgive us for the phrase from the joke).
And so it is. After all, when choosing a skirt model for women with a protruding belly, there is no point in emphasizing this part of the figure. It is best to make the belt wide and raise it slightly above the waist. And on the line where the belly begins to protrude, sew the main details of the skirt. This will be slightly higher than the classic version.
Here is the second secret that makes skirt models for women with a protruding belly comfortable and downright chic.
The fullness of the bottom of the skirt is the number five secret to slimness
There is a secret for those who do not want to attract attention to wide hips. The fact is that the main details of the skirts, collected in small pleats at the waist, create unnecessary volume in this case. Therefore, ladies with wide hips should not make the skirt too full immediately from the waist.
Young ladies look beautiful in pleated skirts. It is best to stitch them up to the line of the widest volume at the waist.
But you can get by with just a skirt widened at the bottom. It’s not difficult to create a pattern for this style if you have a straight silhouette pattern. The drawing shows how you can make a pattern yourself.
On the pattern, vertical straight lines are drawn from the tops of the darts to the bottom. If desired, you can make another line, without a dart, then the skirt will be fuller at the bottom.
Next, the pattern is cut along the lines to the tops of the darts. If the pattern was made on paper or polyethylene, then the darts can be pinned. If the patterns are made of cardboard, they are cut out.
Having connected the resulting parts from above, the bottom is smoothly connected with one line.
Both a mature woman and a young girl look very presentable in skirts of half-sun, sun, and year styles. And you can sew such models at home with your own hands.
