Retica, a dress mail order company, has released a special feature on spring slimming dresses for sizes 2L-4L that are designed to make the wearer look 3kg slimmer, challenging the common belief that pastel colors make one look larger.

DRESS DESIGN WORKS Co., Ltd. (Location: Chuo-ku, Osaka; Sales Manager: Haruka Kirino), which operates the party dress mail order site 'Retica' (URL: https://www.bridesmaiddress.jp/), has launched a special feature on "Spring *Look 3kg Slimmer Dresses" specifically for plus sizes (2L to 4L)!

(*Due to visual effects when worn)

This special feature focuses on the concern of plus-size women that "pastel colors make them look larger."

By proposing the latest party styles that do not hide the body but rather "showcase" it beautifully, through designs that are meticulously calculated for visual effects, such as V-necks that make the décolletage look neat, and sheer materials that create a sense of openness without picking up on body lines.

Don't Give Up on "Color" Because of Size — The "Golden Ratio for Slimming" to Conquer Expanding Colors —

"I want to wear bright colors for spring invitations, but I'm afraid of looking fat, so I always end up choosing black...". To address such concerns, Retica has carefully selected "designs that turn expanding colors into allies."

For sizes 2L to 4L, where choices have often been limited, we have expanded our lineup to include trendy sorbet colors and sheer materials.

We deliver a dress that allows every woman to be the confident star, without giving up on her ideal style due to size.

"3 Golden Ratio Points" for Achieving a Slimming Look and Featured Products

Price: 9,790 yen (tax included) Colors: Beige/Purple/Greige/Blue Gray/Dark Blue/Black

https://www.bridesmaiddress.jp/c/pt_dress/rt-pt5882-2a

• Content: Adopts a V-neck design that makes the face area look neat. Exposing the décolletage draws the eye upwards, creating the effect of a longer neck.

• Benefit: Makes the facial contours look sharp and adds a "lightness" to L-size and larger dresses that tend to look heavy overall.

② Deceive with "Visual Magic": Utilizing Sheer Material (Transparency)

https://www.bridesmaiddress.jp/c/op_dress/rt-ld25718

• Content: Deliberately avoids completely hiding the upper arms and shoulders, covering them with sheer materials like lace and tulle.

• Benefit: The upper arms, which can appear bulky if completely hidden, are given a slender impression by subtly revealing the skin, blurring the boundary lines.

Price: 13,200 yen (tax included) Colors: Dusty Pink/Navy

Price: 9,790 yen (tax included) Colors: Blue Gray/Pink/Purple/Olive/Charcoal/Brown/Navy/Black

③ Set the "Center of Gravity" High: Vertical Effect of Calculated "High Waist × Long Length"

https://www.bridesmaiddress.jp/c/op_dress/rt-ld88202a

Content: The waistline is positioned higher than usual, and a flared silhouette is adopted below the transition line. The vertical lines of the skirt created by the shirring at the waist lead to an overall slender and elongated impression.

Benefit: By "falsifying" the waist position to be higher, it achieves an overwhelming leg-lengthening effect. It forms a well-defined X-line, allowing even expanding pastel colors to be worn without looking bulky, balancing feminine curves and a smart posture.

A Rich and Diverse Lineup to Choose From According to Body Type and Preference

We have a wide variety of items in all sizes from 2L to 4L that turn expanding colors into allies.
