Curvy approved options for work and play!
The Katerina is another absolute favorite as a curvy woman! So flattering and comes in a ton of beautiful prints. I’m wearing a 12 but could also do a 10.
The Katerina Button-Front Dress
I love the whole Somerset line! Mini, maxi, pants, shirts… it all flatters curves!
The Somerset Maxi Dress: Corduroy Edition
A summer lifesaver! These linen pants are SO lightweight and comfortable, even in humid, hot summer weather. I actually get a medium in these, but a large would work as well!
The Somerset Linen Pull-On Pants
These have become my go-to pants, in both cotton and corduroy. THEY STE SO COMFORTABLE! And surprisingly flattering if you’re shy of the barrel trend; don’t be afraid!
The Izzie Relaxed Pull-On Barrel Pants by Pilcro
Such a comfortable and figure flattering top! This is a large but I think a medium would also work.
The Tobie Short-Sleeve Pleated Blouse by Exquise

The Keira Plaid Blouse by Pilcro
The Tobie is beautiful in ANY print or length. I wear a size L!

Free People

Such a fun summer dress! I also wore it with a cropped sweater over it, which could definitely help extend its wear into fall and winter!
Via Midi Dress
Not currently listed on the FP website, but there’s a ton of colors, patterns, and sizes available on resale and thrift sites!
Free People Golden Hour Maxi Dress
I get so many compliments on this dress! Very comfortable, girly, lightweight, and fits no matter the time of month. Also great for maternity!
Bluebell Maxi
I rented this in my July Nuuly and loved it! A great summer top with high waisted bottoms.
