Looking effortless and fabulous actually takes work – especially for curvy girls like us. I know I have long struggled with these 5 “curvy girl fashion woes” below – check out my solutions on how to tackle them!
Woe # 1: Rising Dress Syndrome
Don’t you hate it when you’re feeling like a million bucks in that cute dress just to have it start sticking to you on a hot day and end up exposing your behind without you noticing? It’s never a fun thing to have a complete stranger walk up to you to gently let you know that your polka-dot panties are showing.
Solution: Wear small shorts, tights, and leggings under a dress. This will work to keep that dress down and the mystery alive! Bonus: tights will also help with chaffing and are great for body shaping.
These three give you the full range of protection against this woe all for under $35!

Woe # 2 – Bikini Shy
Some of us might be a little gun shy when it comes to showing some skin on the beach, but that’s ok! There’s no mandatory bikini requirement for the beach or pool.
Solution: Coverups…coverups…coverups! Whether it is a Kimono, Tunic, Knit Pants, or a Summer Dress – you can be creative with this one! Here are my top 3, all for under $60!

Woe # 3 – “I don’t like my arms”
I used to get self-conscious about wearing tops that showed off my arms, but have since grown to embrace them. While I always urge everyone to embrace every inch of themselves, I personally know that it doesn’t just happen over night and will take baby steps.
Solution: For those of us who wish to expose less arm but still look fashionable, my favorites are Maxi Tops, Off the Shoulder Tops, and Creative Blouses. I love these three tops for the job – all for under $30!

Woe # 4 – “Wrong” Attention
For those of us in the D or DD range, clothing your top without making them the focus of the show takes a little work.
Solution: Colors, prints, and creativity will make sure you get appreciated for your total package! These 3 dresses will ensure that you get the right attention you deserve.

I have a PCOS belly and tights always roll down my waist and hips. Do you know of any that are high waisted and plus size friendly?
Hi Marissa! Thanks for reading! Yes, you should check out http://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=918&userID=1068829&productID=530156124 for tights. They seem to have some good ones that are longer.
