Plus size shirts for women are available at all good retailers of plus size womens clothing and the larger the store, the more choice of styles and colors you will have.
Ideally, these plus size shirts can be either tapered in slightly so that they give the illusion of a smaller waist or you can go for something like a plus sized tunic and the difference with this is that it is the same width all the way down and is generally more loose hanging than a shirt.
Both plus size shirts and plus size tunics are ideal for the fuller figured woman because they are are longer and come down over the waist. The other good thing about this is they cover up the midriff area which can often be a good thing. Because they are loose fitting (even if the shirts are slightly tapered in at the waist, they should still be loose) they are more flattering to the eye. The last thing a plus sized woman should be wearing is a skin tight outfit that will outline her bodyshape and focus the attention on that.This is not flattering for fuller figured women.
Plus size tunics and shirts are great to wear with jeans or pants, especially capri pants because these tend to be tapered in slightly at the end and so give a slightly more slimmer look when worn with shirts or tunics.
Plus size shirts can be worn with skirts but only if the skirt is knee-length or above. A longer skirt length would look too baggy when worn with a loose fitting shirt or tunic much and you would lose yourself in too much clothing.
Ideally, before shopping for plus size outfits, it is a good idea to know your body shape as you can then plan your wardrobe accordingly. Basically, plus size body shapes can be put into 5 different categories:
Triangle shape where the top half of your body is narrow but wider at the hips and waist.
Inverted triangle shape is where the top half of the body ie the shoulders are fuller than the hips and waist.
Circle shape where the body has full shoulders, round waist and fuller hips.
Rectangle shape is where the body has similar proportions for the shoulders, waist and hips.
Hourglass shape is where the upper part and lower parts of the body are in equal propertion and the waist is smaller than the shoulders and hips.
