Shopping For A Thanksgiving Cocktail Dress When You're Plus Size

baby thanksgiving dress 2012

 If you're anything like the Red Queen from, "Alice in Wonderland", you might be sporting a few extra pounds.  I have been for some time now.  One of the down sides of having that extra weight is finding something nice to wear for special occasions.  The Queen might be able to get away with wearing the same thing every time she leaves the castle for a night on the town, but we can't.
Let's face it, we need to make use of the good we have, and perhaps draw attention away from those trouble areas. (We won't point hers out to her either – or she might have our heads!)  Having said that, just because I've got a few extra pounds, or in the vernacular of today's media, being plus size, doesn't mean I don't want to look my best.  It doesn't mean that there aren't occasions in my life that I need to dress up for. With some work, I can find clothes for the everyday and still look pretty good.  At least I like to think I look pretty good.  In the end, that's what matters anyway, what I think not what anyone else says.
What I do have trouble with is finding that special plus size cocktail party dress（baby thanksgiving dress 2012）.  Whether it is for a wedding, a night on the town with the girls, or the guys, or a special holiday or event, I want to look nice, and it isn't always easy – just ask the Queen.
With that in mind, I talked to a few other gals in my situation to see what they do when they want to up the wow factor.   The first thing I realized is this is a common problem.    It's nice sometimes to know you're not alone with an issue.  Trust me, you're not alone.  I'm afraid that in today's world, too many designers assume if someone is plus size, they have no desire or need to look good.  I've never understood why someone else should be allowed to decide what you or I should or shouldn't want or do.
Thumbing our collective noses at the designers and the media, the end result of my interactions with other plus size gals was that it all comes down to doing what makes you feel good about yourself.  The lesson learned, dress for you and the world be damned.
Let's show the world just how we can shine and if they don't like it – then, off with their heads!
