Shop Sydney's Closet to look glamorous when you dress up for once-in-a-lifetime celebrations wearing plus size long evening dresses and formal evening gowns.

Why not take the opportunity to make invitations to formal dances, military balls and black-tie weddings your red-carpet moment!  The question is where do you begin?

Start here:

Timing:  The last thing you want is to feel rushed into buying a dress. Give yourself at least three and ideally six months to find the plus size long evening dress of your dreams. Take your time. It's not an easy decision. 

Alterations: Allow at least three weeks for alterations. Everyone who wears a plus size floor length dress will almost always need professional alterations to get a perfect fit. (Don't forget to take your shapewear and shoes to the fitting!)

Budget: Hollywood stars have unlimited budgets when they step on the red carpet. But most curvy women have a dollar figure in mind that they want to spend. Sydney's Closet can help no matter what your budget. Shop our sale rack for a great selection of cheap plus size formal dresses. 

Color:  Selecting a color that compliments your skin and suits the season and occasion. This is not the occasion to experiment with new hues.

Style:  Check with your hostess and invitation to see if there is a dress code for your formal event. What you find will determine whether you wear a ball gown, long formal dress, tea-length or cocktail dress. Don't want to bare it all? Shop for a plus size long party dress with sleeves, shawl or a jacket.

Fabrics:  look for luxurious fabrics that you don't wear every day such as Mikado satin, chiffon, regal satin, lace, and taffeta. They are designed for evening. 

Details that Dazzle: Accessories aren't an option for formal evening attire. These accessories are a necessity with plus size formal evening dresses. Shop for evening shoes and purse and jewelry after you get your dress. Remember to wear elbow or opera length evening gloves to a black tie affair.
