As the world constantly revolves around evolving, it is upgrading to becoming more inclusive of diversity. Every imperfection is being embraced and accepted like its perfect. The fashion industry has had a reputation for only fostering slender, size zero bodies and shaming the larger sized women. Only a certain kind of body was looked up to and was idolised as the ultimate desirable size but with the times changing and with the global support of more woke and vocal communities on social media this norm is shifting to accepting more realistic and relatable body types. There is space for every shape and colour. Thanks to the inspiring influencers around the world who have encouraged us to become comfortable in our skin and unapologetically accept and love ourselves the way we are.
Body shaming can affect people’s mental health, accepting yourself completely takes a lot of willpower and the best way to feel good immediately is by dressing up and looking good as it can positively impact your mood and uplift confidence by ten folds. Plus-size inclusion has become imperative not just to promote body positivity but also because it’s everyone’s right to wear the kind of clothes they like. Many fashion brands, in fact, most of them have started plus sizes garments in recent years. There are now places with sizes and fits for everyone with myriad options.
AND has always been catering to its audience with utmost inclusion, whether it’s the conservative reservation, aesthetic or size. We don’t believe in separating the category for plus size on our website or creating a different section in the stores. There is everything for everyone for every occasion. Keep reading to discover the four dresses for different affairs you can look exactly the way you imagined you would without being worried about finding your size.
Coffee-Dinner Date
They say the first impression is the most impactful one, then what’s better than this exuberantly stylish floral printed dress from AND. Showcasing elegant watercolour floral print in the most flattering silhouette with a ruched neckline, a frilled hemline and comfortable sleeves. The vibrant orange hue is bound to suit our Indian skin tone and can be styled in different ways.
Nude or tan footwear and bag on a casual date or contrasting accessories with a layered gold necklace and hoops for a fancier dinner date. The straight-fit contour enables a better-fitted look for our gorgeous plus-sized ladies.
Work Presentation
Looking sharp and professional at work is essential, especially on the days of presentations where your hard work is ready to shine but the cherry on the icing is being well dressed which makes a more magnifying impression. But at the same time, it’s important to keep it minimalistic and chic. Our blush pink formal shirt dress from AND fosters your penchant for sophistication.
The fabric belt with the ‘D’ ring gives your waistline an accentuating fit, complementing your curve flawlessly. The slight flare and sleeves with long cuffs uplift the chicness of this workwear dress. You can stylise the dress with a different statement belt accompanied by coordinating heels and a bag. Accessorise with minimal gold jewellery to keep it sharp.
Wine Soiree
Sundowners and wine-cheese tasting evenings are an elitist affair. They demand elegant silhouettes and poised styling. Our flared dress is a ready-to-go design that doesn’t need extra effort in styling. It exudes astounding femininity with its frilled neckline and a bow at the back that adds oomph to your style quotient. The sleeveless bodice and panelled flare gives your body a tall and slender look. The breath-taking red hue amplifies the mood of the contour and complements all Indian skin tones.
Stylise this dress with a statement belt to break the monotony and just throw in black or nude heels with minimal long dangling earrings to create an ogle-worthy look. Tie a low messy side bun to show off your sensuous back decorated with the gorgeous bow.
Sunday Brunch
Brunches always remind us of a fun vibe with the closest friends on a Sunday afternoon with whom you’d love to share your sangria and mimosa pitchers. And on the day when you’d like to wind down from the previous week and fuel up for the upcoming week calls for a soothing floral dress in the most relaxed silhouette: a maxi dress.
Adorned in a summer-y shade of pastel blue with floral prints, crafted in the lightest fabric; this maxi dress from AND is your ultimate go-to option for a chill weekend. With spaghetti straps and frilled hemline in a flattering length and flare makes it the easiest to style. Pair this elegant dress with a slim belt to cinch that curvaceous waistline and heels along with long dangling earrings or oversized hoops.
