The Curve Edit

The Curve Edit is designed specifically with curvier and plus-size figures in mind. Cuts, seams and details like ruching, corsetry and strategic draping are placed to enhance curves, support the bust and define the waist, rather than simply grading up from smaller sizes. The result is a better fit, more comfort and a more flattering silhouette on fuller figures.

Start with your bust, waist and hip measurements and compare them to the size chart, rather than relying only on your usual size. If you’re between sizes, choose based on the most fitted part of the dress: for corset or bodycon styles, go with the size that matches your waist and bust; for relaxed or ruffled dresses, you can size up for comfort. Remember that many curve pieces are cut to accommodate fuller hips and busts, so you often don’t need to size up as much as with standard ranges.

For hourglass figures, fitted corset mini dresses and ruffled midi dresses that highlight the waist work well. Pear shapes tend to suit A-line skirts, bubble hems and dresses with eye-catching tops or sleeves to balance proportions. Apple shapes often feel best in empire waist and slightly looser styles that skim the midsection. Two-piece sets can be great for mixing sizes (for example, a smaller top and larger bottom) to get a custom-looking fit.

Mini dresses in this collection are shorter and show more leg, ideal for nights out, parties and cocktail events. They often come in structured fabrics, satin or lace with corset details. Midi dresses fall below the knee and offer a bit more coverage, which works well for daytime events, semi-formal occasions or settings where you want something elegant but not too revealing. Both are tailored for curves; your choice mainly depends on preferred coverage and occasion.

The edit includes both. Satin, lace and bow-detail dresses, as well as structured white or black minis and midis, are ideal for weddings, formal dinners or special occasions. Playful ruffled midis, bubble minis and more daring cut-out styles suit parties, birthdays and nights out. Check the fabric and detailing: smoother satin and lace feel more formal, while knitted, cotton or very short styles feel more casual.

Pick a dress if you want a simple, one-and-done outfit and a more continuous silhouette. Choose a two-piece set if you like to show a hint of midriff, want to mix and match with other items in your wardrobe, or need different sizes for your top and bottom. Two-piece sets can be especially helpful for curvy or plus-size bodies where bust and hip measurements fall into different size ranges.

The collection uses a mix of satin, chiffon, lace, cotton and knitted materials. Satin and silk-like fabrics feel smooth and luxurious, perfect for dressy events. Chiffon and lace add a softer, romantic look, often layered over lining for comfort. Cotton and knits are breathable and better for everyday wear or cooler weather. Structured fabrics tend to hold shape and give support, while stretch blends allow more movement and comfort.

Look for words like “corset,” “bodice,” “structured,” or “underwire” in the product description, as these often include built-in shaping and support. Wide straps, adjustable straps and higher backs also help with support. If you choose plunge or backless styles, plan to pair them with a body shaper or specialist bra designed for low backs or deep necklines to keep everything secure.

Seamless underwear or a smoothing body shaper works best under fitted, satin or light-colored dresses, as they reduce visible lines and create a clean silhouette. Nude tones close to your skin color are less visible under white or light fabrics. For plunging or backless dresses, choose a plunge backless shaper or stick-on bra that’s designed not to show while still offering lift and support.

For satin and lace, hand wash in cold water or use a delicate machine cycle in a laundry bag, then lay flat or hang to dry; avoid high heat and harsh spinning to prevent snagging and shine loss. For knitted sweaters, wash gently, reshape while damp and dry flat to avoid stretching. Always check the care label on each piece and avoid tumble-drying delicate fabrics whenever possible.
