English term or phrase: oversized silhouette
Another beautiful option is a floor length strapless gown with tulle overlay on the bottom. A prom dress like this is a modern version of a traditional princess gown and wearing this dress will make you feel just like so. This gown with an oversized silhouette is a great way to make a dramatic entrance at your prom.

(vestido) voluminoso


Explanation:
Yo creo que, en este caso, el texto se refiere a que el vestido es voluminoso en sí, no a que sea de talla grande.

El texto habla de un vestido de estilo "princesa", con varias capas de tul.

agree  JohnMcDove: Uy, ahora que lo veo otra vez en contexto, creo que tienes toda la razón. “Corte generoso” y “estilo maxi”, si bien correctos en un contexto de “gordura eufemística” no se adaptan tanto al contexto del estilo “princesa”...

Explanation:
Aparentemente sólo en la parte baja de la falda, pero otorga 'presencia' al entrar al salón.
