No matter what type of occasion you are attending you can find the perfect suit to wear. Whether you're mother of the bride or attending church or a career woman there is an unlimited selection of plus size suits available to you in every style and color. Even today's pant suits are so dressy that you can wear them to special occasions.
Plus size suits can be very flattering if you know what type of jacket looks best on you. You'll want to make sure that the jacket of the suit hits below the hip to hide any unattractive bulges. A flattering overall jacket length on most women is 26". You don't want the jacket to be too long either. A jacket that is too long will make you look short. The best type of jacket is one that has princess type seaming that helps give you an hourglass shape. A single breasted jacket is generally the most flattering.
When you wear a plus size suit the jacket helps to hide the comfortable elastic waistband. Try to buy suits that come with both a skirt and pants to give you more flexibility. Also remember you want flat front skirts, no pleats. If you're buying plus size suits for work stick with skirts with a 27" or knee length. Save the longer skirts for more special occasions. Wearing a jacket open is also a way to give the illusion of slimness.
When you're buying plus size suits try and buy suits with jackets, skirts and pants that you can mix and match. Also, if you're top heavy you don't want to accentuate it. Keep the lapel thin and buy a more subdued jacket. The way to add a pop of color is with the blouse or sweater you wear underneath the jacket. The most easy care of any plus size suits are those of polyester, rayon and spandex. That means that they're machine washable and won't wrinkle. Dry cleaning isn't cheap so if you can find suits you can machine wash you'll save money.

Silhouettes has very stylish plus size suits, as does Catherine's. Always remember that if a suit doesn't fit you perfectly you can have it tailored to fit. Some suit jackets have sleeves that are too long, or a skirt may be too long. These things can be easily fixed.
