Here at Cotton Dayz, we love to see women expressing themselves through fashion just as much as we love the natural fibre of cotton. If you are trying to figure out how you will look absolutely stunning this winter, then keep reading to find out our style tips. 

Benefits of Cotton Winter Dresses

There are an incredible number of benefits to wearing plus size winter dresses in Australia during winter, and just one of those reasons is because of how stylish you will look. But there are even more benefits when you are wearing cotton clothing in Australia during the cold months; here’s why: 

Insulates

Because cotton is a natural fibre, it is able to insulate when you wear a few layers of cotton clothing in Australia. The natural material traps air between its fibres, keeping your body warmth close to you while wicking away moisture. 

Effortless

Plus-size winter dresses in Australia are one of the most effortless outfits to not only look put together but absolutely fabulous in. They can be as easy as throwing it on with a pair of boots or even effortlessly dressed up with jewellery, a clutch, and your favourite pair of heels. 

No static cling

One of the best things about wearing cotton clothing in Australia during winter is that cotton is unable to hold a static charge. This means you can say goodbye to the awkward static cling of your dress riding up your stockings and to the nasty zap. 

Easy maintenance

Cotton also is a great fabric for clothes because it is so easy to maintain. Not only is cotton less likely to absorb bad odours, but it is incredibly easy to wash. All you have to do is pop it in the washing machine on cold and let it do all the work. 

Elegant silhouette

Plus-size winter dresses in Australia are perfect for balancing out your silhouette while so easy to style. Long sleeve dresses can help to elongate your silhouette, while dresses that have a bit of flair or volume can balance out your lower half. To cinch your waist with a dress, it is as easy as adding a belt and creating a beautiful hourglass silhouette. 

Good for the environment

Synthetic fabrics, such as nylon and polyester, shed microplastic each time they are washed. These fast fashion microplastics contribute to 20-35% of the microplastics polluting our oceans and contaminating our food. Because cotton is a natural fibre, it doesn’t shed microplastics, and it also is biodegradable.

Different Types of Plus-Size Winter Dresses

In winter, it is not only important that you look absolutely stylish, but it is also key to choosing the right plus-size winter dresses in Australia to keep warm. Here are some of the best styles of dresses to wear during winter:

Godet

Godet dresses have a triangular-shaped fabric panel that is inserted into the dress’s hemline to create flare, volume, and movement. It can be used to create a mermaid-like silhouette or also adds more volume to the dress skirt so that it has a bit more flair and swing. Typically, this style of dress is made from lightweight materials, including cotton, to enhance the draping effect. This is a glamorous dress designed to swing and twirl in.

A-line

The A-line silhouette is classic and timeless. It is one of the most popular dresses in plus-size women’s clothing because it enhances the hourglass silhouette. A-line dresses usually have a more fitted bodice that gently flares out, creating a capital A shape. This is a universally flattering dress suiting a range of different body shapes.

Maxi

A maxi dress is a dress with a long hemline that usually touches your feet or brushes your ankles. They can come with a range of different necklines and sleeves. They are also an excellent choice when you want to embrace boho chic, as well as they are so effortless to style. 

Midi

Midi dresses have a hem length that reaches anywhere from just below your knee to the middle of your calf. It is a universally flattering hem length because it shows off the more delicate part of a women’s leg, the ankle. They are also excellent at elongating your silhouette and can even make those of us who are shorter appear taller.

Layered

Layered dresses consist of multiple layers of fabric or overlaying panels, creating a dimensional effect. This effect can become even more flattering when the hemline of each other layer is asymmetrical. The layering also allows for movement within the dress so that it flows around you beautifully.

Bubble

A bubble dress is quite voluminous in the skirt but gathered around the hem to create a bubble effect. The waistline of bubble dresses typically sits higher than the natural waistline, which can help to elongate your silhouette.

How To Style Plus Size Winter Dresses

When styling plus-size women’s clothing, it doesn’t need to be all oversized, baggy, and dark in colour. To create a beautiful outfit you feel fabulous in, it all comes down to understanding your body shape. Here at Cotton Dayz, we believe that age, size, or shape shouldn’t restrict your style. We absolutely love when we see women express their unique selves in our plus-size women’s clothing. But if you are stuck for ideas, here are some winter styling tips for plus-size winter dresses in Australia: 

Layers

Layering is always key when the temperature starts to drop. Not only because adding layers allows you to play with different colours and patterns, but it also helps to lock in the warmth without the need for bulky oversized clothing.

Adding layers to your plus size winter dresses in Australia is easy because they are already so effortless for you to look absolutely stunning in. Let’s start with the outer layers. You can easily add a touch of warmth and shape to your outfit by adding a jacket; cropped jackets are perfect for adding definition around your waist without needing to wear anything too restrictive. A knit jumper is also cosy and so stylish to wear with a dress throughout winter. 

Wearing layers underneath your outfit during winter is key to staying warm on even the coldest of days. Adding a slip to your outfit can help lock your body warmth in close to your skin. You can also add a turtleneck or long-sleeved shirt underneath some of your short-sleeved or strappy dresses. This can be worn with stockings to keep some extra warmth on your legs, and there is no need to worry about static cling when you are wearing cotton plus-size women’s clothing.

Accessories

Accessories let you add a touch of self-expression to your outfit. Adding accessories lets also you play around with colours, textures, and patterns. Some winter accessories that will not only look great but keep you warm are scarves, beanies, hats, and gloves. Wearing a scarf with your plus size winter dresses in Australia can help to draw the eye down your outfit and elongate your silhouette. 

Boots

Boots are a lady’s best friend in winter. Not only can they go with just about any outfit, especially dresses, but they also can lock in the warmth without letting the cold ground seep through. Midi dresses look excellent when worn with a pair of ankle boots with or without a heel, the choice is yours. Maxi dresses worn with heeled boots can work to elongate your silhouette while adding a touch of sophistication.
