Just because you're a certain size doesn't mean you have to dress differently :) Simply anything you find cute you can wear, but the key tip is to buy the right size. It has to fit well, too small will emphasize curves, too big/baggy will make you look bigger. Shop around see what your taste is xox

I agree with Vanessa W. rock anything you think is cute on you with confidence and you're set! I'm curvy and have the same problem trying to find what to wear... Especially jeans or pants. I just wear whatever is cute and fits well. Try it on and if you need to get it tailored.

I'm a size 12 too! I never wear jeans cause I feel so constricted in them. All I ever wear is leggings and jeggings.

Size 12 is NOT a plus size.. That's perfectly normal. Maybe anything smaller is a minus size?
As a fellow size 12m, it's not about a certain style, but what about looks good on your shape. I have big hips and a small waste, so I emphasize it. And I always get complements in my bum, so wear clothes that highlight that. Go shopping and ask a friend you trust to go with you to get an honest opinion. But seriously.. Plus size... Come on...

I'm with you Ellie. 12 is absolutely not a plus size. I wear a 12 but I'm not really curvy. My hips, waist, and shoulders are about the same measurement. I'm just a little thick, but with giant hooters. I wear dark jeans in any cut I happen to like, tee shirts with a little stretch so the banoobies can be accommodated without the rest of me drowning, tank tops and cardigans, and capri pants. I don't wear shorts because I dress modestly (plus my legs are glow-in-the-dark white lol).
If you're more on the curvy side, dresses with a nipped in waist, pencil skirts, and belted tops look amazing.
Nobody can go wrong with a great pair of jeans. Try a dark wash with either a straight leg or boot cut for the most flattering look, or skinny jeans combined with a more voluminous top for balance.
