To look at most clothing stores, you’d never know that the average American is considerably overweight. Size-2 and even -0 clothes crowd store racks, draped on hangars almost as thin as the women flipping through them. Until now, the rest of us had to settle for flowing dresses under hip-hiding blazers when we wanted to dress up for a night.

Not anymore! This gorgeous satin “Marilyn” dress ($69.99, in various colors) comes in plus-sizes and shows off those curves to advantage. The halter-style top is flattering to any figure, with a plunging neckline that elongates the torso and narrows the waist, and the 3/4 length is flattering to most heights. Arms not in the best shape? No worry: the dress comes with a matching scarf, too. Use it as a shawl, or wear it Audrey Hepburn-style.
