Of course, I could not resist a little bold lip highlighting the funky plum hues in this printed perfection. I had to.\u00a0 The result is a sassy Monday stunner that definitely crosses off my 3 must haves for a killer outfit- <strong>color, quirk, and comfort.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Look for color to brighten up a staple piece<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2492\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Plus-Size-Sweater-Dresses-Fashion-to-Figure-2-853x1024.jpg\" alt=\"plus-size-sweater-dresses-fashion-to-figure-2\" width=\"853\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Plus-Size-Sweater-Dresses-Fashion-to-Figure-2-853x1024.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Plus-Size-Sweater-Dresses-Fashion-to-Figure-2-250x300.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Plus-Size-Sweater-Dresses-Fashion-to-Figure-2-768x922.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Know your colors,\u00a0 girl. For me those colors are bright as hell with a side of flashy flashy, glossy glossy. Color can bring a piece to life and make it more than just another printed plus size sweater dress. For example,\u00a0 the bright jewel tones of this knitted knockout, flatter nearly every complexion.\u00a0 They brighten the skin visually and add subtle warmth to your glow. Not sure which jewel tones will make your face extra fab? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oprah.com\/style\/Best-Color-For-Skin-Tone-Flattering-Colors-Jewel-Tones\/1\" target=\"_blank\">This rundown from Oprah is pretty helpful.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Quirky variations of traditional styles stand out<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2493\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Plus-Size-Sweater-Dresses-Fashion-to-Figure-3-853x1024.jpg\" alt=\"plus-size-sweater-dresses-fashion-to-figure-3\" width=\"853\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Plus-Size-Sweater-Dresses-Fashion-to-Figure-3-853x1024.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Plus-Size-Sweater-Dresses-Fashion-to-Figure-3-250x300.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Plus-Size-Sweater-Dresses-Fashion-to-Figure-3-768x922.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Traditions are important, but how those traditions evolve and become individual expressed are just as important. As I am a bit of a self proclaimed weirdo, I love celebrating looks that take a twist on the traditional creating a new personal voice. This dress is a great example. Many of the patterned stripes are based off the colorful patterns created by the fair isle knitting technique invented in Scotland many many moons ago. However the color combination is decidedly modern. The result is a sheath that screams modern, while at the same time celebrating centuries old winter fashion staples.<\/p>\n<h2>Remember to that comfort is critical<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2494\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Plus-Size-Sweater-Dresses-Fashion-to-Figure-4-853x1024.jpg\" alt=\"plus-size-sweater-dresses-fashion-to-figure-4\" width=\"853\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Plus-Size-Sweater-Dresses-Fashion-to-Figure-4-853x1024.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Plus-Size-Sweater-Dresses-Fashion-to-Figure-4-250x300.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Plus-Size-Sweater-Dresses-Fashion-to-Figure-4-768x922.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>A truly effortless plus size look is just that- effortless. Sure, I love the glam of a tight dress, covered in sequins, and short as hell. But it&#8217;s not practical. While I might feel like a sex goddess delivered from the sky, I can&#8217;t grocery shop like that. Hell, I can&#8217;t do much but look cute and collect numbers like that. So I am a big fan of anything that makes me feel like sensuous minx while at the same time still feeling like everything is effortless. This look is that for me. The heels are comfortable, the dress is soft and hugs my curves without riding up, and the belt adds just enough sparkle.\u00a0 Swoon, on ladies. Swoon on.<\/p>\n<h2>Shop this plus size sweater dress look:<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2495\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Plus-Size-Sweater-Dresses-Fashion-to-Figure-5-853x1024.jpg\" alt=\"plus-size-sweater-dresses-fashion-to-figure-5\" width=\"853\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Plus-Size-Sweater-Dresses-Fashion-to-Figure-5-853x1024.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Plus-Size-Sweater-Dresses-Fashion-to-Figure-5-250x300.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.glitterandlazers.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Plus-Size-Sweater-Dresses-Fashion-to-Figure-5-768x922.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Want to rock this look?
