Winter plus size fashion is not usually the most flattering or interesting clothing. The winter is the one time of year where human survival instincts seem to really trump the desire to look good. Don’t get me wrong, if you go to your typical Midwestern college campus, you can sometimes see sorority girls wearing short skirts in the most foul, icy weather imaginable, drunk out of their minds and stumbling from frat party to frat party. In general, however, womens plus size dresses for winter disappear once Jack Frost starts to show us who is boss.
If you think about it, it is little wonder why. Who really wants to be uncomfortable in a winter dress when you can be secure in a warm winter coat? Even fall dresses are asking a little bit too much on some of the worst fiercest autumn days. The fall can be pleasantly crisp, but it can also be horrendous, pelting people with icy rain and cold winds. I remember how much I hated wearing winter formal dresses when I was growing up. If we would have a wedding, a funeral, or some other fancy events to go to, I would beg my mother to let me wear pants like my brothers got to. In the end, however, I would always have to give in and do what my mom told me. I would bundle up, but my legs would be freezing.
