Who says plus size women can't wear stripes? Throw out the old advice and be yourself in this stylish black and white abstract dress. The curvy lines give it visual impact and the stripes keep it bold.
Abstract Sweater Dress

The Little Black Dress goes big! (Because dressed like this, you're not staying home.) Yes, it comes in other colors, which are lovely, but check out the fabric, the neckline, and the silhouette of this stunning dress. It's designed to earn second lo...
Cowl Neck Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
This dress earns a not so subtle ‘wow’ and it's not all due to the purple color (it comes in black as well). The asymmetrical bodice is both attractive and flattering. Wear it as a cocktail or date dress and use it to make an entrance people won't be...
Asymmetrical Collar Dress

Pretty in pink… Bloom in this rose inspired pink dress. It's perfect for a romantic evening: classy, sophisticated, and just dressy enough. Feel like you're blossoming into your best self in this gorgeous dress.
Square Neck Knitted Dress

Wow. This dress looks like stained glass. Thankfully it's nowhere near as stiff! Look lovely in this loose flowing maxi dress and enjoy the compliments I'm sure this look will elicit.

Stand back! This dress is not for the faint of heart! If you're brazen enough to wear this, I suggest the pink. There are other colors, but the pink knocks it out of the park. There's making a statement and there's making headlines. Be bold. Buy this...
Feather Patchwork Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
Disclaimers: 1. Yes, this only comes in limited plus sizes and they aren't very plus. 2. The model isn't plus at all. 3. Not cheap. But the dress… That chiffon skirt is lovely as are the straight lines of the design. I covet this dress. So pass it by...
Chiffon Cocktail Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
Sometimes it's not the style of the dress that stops people in their tracks. It's the fabric. This purple dress marbled with gold is so eye-catching yet comfy. Make a statement even at a casual event with this stunner.
Marble Texture Dress

Dee D profile picture
Powder blue? It's not what you'd think of when imagining daring eveningwear, but this dress is a work of art. Look closely at the asymmetrical design and the gorgeous fabric and tell me it's not stunning. Just consider this: no one else will be sport...
Drape Shoulder Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
This is so not my color and so not my style - so why am I so enchanted by it? I could not go past this dress. It's architecturally interesting and actually looks rather comfortable for something so modern. Is this your color?
Tuck Halter Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
Khaki? Why not? If earthy tones become you, become one with the earth by wearing this sensual bare shoulder piece.  Great for summer nights with big chunky jewelry.
Fallen Shoulder Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
Oh, ombre! This green ombre dress features great color from collar to hem. The fabric lends a textural look and feel that goes great with the color shift. Check the length if you're petite! You're not going to want to cut off the bottom of this ombre...
Mesh Ombre Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
Pretty in pink! This soft ethereal dress surrounds you like a whisper. The one bare shoulder is sensual, but not scandalous. Wear this for a special occasion to make yourself one memorable night.
One Shoulder Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
Don't let the super skinny models fool you; this dress does come in plus size. I admit that I love the look of crochet or knit overlaid on a solid dress, especially when they are both the same color. Black is great, but the birch color is also lovely...
Lace Knit Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
Dare to go (almost) bare! This black crochet knit dress tempts the eye with its peekaboo holes. Wear what you want beneath (shorts, capris, leggings, whatever), but save at least a sliver of skin to show off.
Crochet Knit Dress

Every. Head. Turns. No one will not notice you in this stunner. Imagine making an entrance in this embellished mini dress that hugs your curves and shows off legs that go all the way up and down again. Not cheap, but if you want to make admirers gap...
Chiffon Trim Mini Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
I admit I fell hard for this dress as soon as I saw it. Not only does it come in great colors, it's a hoodie! So it's cozy (warmer in cold weather if you put the hood up) and cool looking (check out the waist detail)! It would look great with pants ...
Hooded Cinched-Waist Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
Oh my. Here's a dress where you can make a lovely (chocolaty) entrance but really make an exit. The front is all nice and drapey with a short skirt on the bottom, but when you turn around? Hello backless! It only comes in chocolate brown, but it's pe...
Cape Top Drape Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
Okay, so maybe not the most flattering dress you could pick, but it's certainly interesting to look at, especially from the back. For what it's worth? Get the attention first, then wow them with your amazing self. The light pink fabric will flatter ...
Curve Cowl Neck Scarf Satin Maxi Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
Simple, yes, but that choker detail is so sexy! This knit dress may become your go to little black dress that doesn't even need a necklace to appear smashing. (I'm a sucker for the look of a choker.) It doesn't scream, but boy does it whisper in a ve...
Square Neck Choker Maxi Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
I confess I love black clothing, but the color of this dress? Stunning. It's called Cherry Liqueur and it's just the right dark black cherry blue-red set to stun but not blind like orange-red sometimes does. The ruching is flattering, the thigh sli...
One Shoulder Dress with Split
 
Dee D profile picture
I must admit: I'm not a fan of sequins. Or so I thought. I didn't think of these large disc sequins, just the tiny shiny style. This beautiful blue dress uses different sizes of round sequins that are hung, not sewed all the way around. The result? "...
Embellished Disc Sequin Square Neck Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
Okay, so maybe not the best color for everyone, but people do like green and I adore marble swirled dresses (I have multiple ones in monochrome and many colored). Another thing I adore? MESH. What a great concept this is: marbled mesh overlay on top ...

This teal looker is described as having scuba-style fabric. While that is unusual for a dress, the end result is nicely constructed and flattering. It would likely be perfect for a night out with a light shawl or your date's jacket over your shoulde...
Curve Bardot Midi Dress with Split
 
Dee D profile picture
Ahh... Sheer over solid... Mi favorito. I'm a sucker for this look. The translucent top layer tempts while the opaque bottom layer leaves plenty to the imagination. It's a little black dress with a lot of eye-catching appeal. (Yes, it comes in other ...
Off-Shoulder Mesh Midi Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
I confess I'm not into pleats, but this dress caught my eye for the sheer/opaque style that I love. Check out the stylish neckline, the sexy sheer skirt and the cool sleeveless shift shape. Black! Pink! Both are lovely and flattering.
Combo Fabric Pleated Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
Oh my. Imagine the entrance you'd make in this showstopping cape gown. This plus one piece of jewelry and you're a breathtaking sight. Buy, wear to the opera or the symphony, and brace yourself for the flashbulbs to go off when you enter. This is red...
Off The Shoulder Cape Gown
 
Dee D profile picture
Anyone familiar with my recommended dresses has probably figured out by now that I love fabric that gives good drape. This dress just happens to be quite lovely in that respect. From the kimono sleeves to the cape detail to the open back, this teal o...
Kimono Sleeve Cape Draped Dress with Open Back
 
Dee D profile picture
Cheap but cute. I almost didn't post this, but the colors and sale prices were too good to pass up. Plus the only sizes left were plus size! Besides, I can't pass up a dress that comes in a color called Underwater, can I?
Off-the-Shoulder Ruched Velvet Mini Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
I admit this is not my favorite style of halter, so forgive me for this temporary madness. I fell in love with the colors this dress came in, the texture of the fabric, and weirdly the names of the colors. Dragonfruit pink! Flax Flower blue! Black Ja...
The Occasion Pleated Halter Swing Mini Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
Honestly, I'm not asking you to actually buy this dress. (It's not cheap.) But these disc sequins are kind of mesmerizing when they move. I'm just asking you to click and watch the video so you can see how cool they look.
Curve wavy linear embellished maxi dress
 
Dee D profile picture
So technically this is a swim cover up, however it would also look great over a sausage (tight body con) dress as well. Pick a minidress with spaghetti straps for underneath if you want to tantalize on a warm night or an equally long tank style maxi ...
Hollow-Out Maxi Cover-Up Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
Okay, so upfront, this dress has pros and cons and honestly one of the cons is that it comes in navy blue, not black. ;-) I must admit, there are plenty of people who adore navy clothing (including my bestie) so I am including this for them. The othe...

Mix and match! We've got proper more tailored jacket/pants or jacket/skirt style suits plus 2 or 3 pieces that form matching or coordinated sets (made to be worn together whether made of the same fabric - matching - or different but sold as a unit). ...

Go to the site and look at the images there: they have this set in both gray and purple and I couldn't pick! It looks great worn as a set plus both pieces make great wardrobe builders: the sweater with pants or the skirt with a different top. The rib...

Okay, so this is not technically a dress; it's a two piece set. But really, doesn't it look like a dress? While this would be great on a beach vacation you can pretend you're on one already at your local tiki bar wearing this set. Remember those litt...

Dee D profile picture
A fan of Piet Mondrian? This geometric set - which comes in multiple colors - is a fun way to look great at the office (with the jacket) and transition to a night out (hello sleeveless!) as an option. It's hard to pick, but the blue and beige are bot...
Patchwork Jacket and Dress Set
 
Dee D profile picture
Don't let the beige throw you off! This gorgeous modern set comes in lots of solid colors including grey, black, and more! I'm not normally a big fan of wide-leg pants, but they look like a match to the lovely drape of the lovely asymmetrical top. Th...
Scarf Shawl Cape Top with Wide-Leg Pants
 
Dee D profile picture
Not cheap, for sure, but stylish and versatile if you get all three pieces! A great grey neutral pairs well with black, white, or colors. The pants and the skirt would make a great foundation for an outfit without the coat. Imagine a modern white wom...
Cinched Collarless Blazer with Wide Leg Pants and/or Maxi Skirt
 
Dee D profile picture
A sleek black suit with clean lines always has a place in one's closet. Not overly fancy, but definitely attractive, this useful set offers a very wearable black pencil skirt plus a collarless jacket that hints at a more modern take on the more old-...
Asymmetrical Jacket & Pencil Skirt
 
Dee D profile picture
This lovely tie front jacket and pants set in grey is a wonderful mix of casual and office attire. The jacket makes for a nice lightweight layer and the pants can go with many different tops. Great separates in a fab neutral shade.

Simple - yet stylish - suiting in three colors. This collarless zip jacket is sleek and modern and the skirt is a wardrobe building that works with all sorts of tops. Wear the suit with a mock turtleneck and tights in the cool weather and a sleeveles...

V Neck Tiered Wedding Dress

So flattering! This minimalist gown shows off the neck and shoulders, is designed to look good on amply endowed women, has nice gentle ruching across the midsection, and two large 3D flowers to draw the eye.  Plus a bonus pocket! Very thoughtful!
Asymmetrical Collar Wedding Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
The perfect summer ceremony wedding gown! All aflutter with layered ruffles, this softly feminine gown is super pretty and set for the warmer season. Not into white? For brides who prefer blush, this dress comes in a pink version as well! Probably no...
Split Ruffle Wedding Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
One word: classy. The sleek lines, lovely fabric, pearl studded sheer sleeves, and one glorious accent flower makes for an unforgettable gown. So many wedding dresses are overdone, beaded to death, but this? Simple, stunning, and yes, in a word, clas...
Pearl Sleeve Wedding Dress

A wedding suit - because gowns aren't for everyone! (Bonus: it comes in striking black!) The sheer plus 3D floral design of these two color option pants suits is brill! Just suit enough to dismiss the need for a gown and just wedding enough to be per...
Sheer 2 - Piece Pant Suit
 
Dee D profile picture
Just look at this gorgeous gown! This sweetheart of an off the shoulder bodice pairs with a not so sweet sweeping high low skirt. The package deal adds up to a memorable image. (Bonus: If you're naughty it comes in black!)
Off The Shoulder Wedding Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
I am a sucker for sheer over solid so this dress is my kind of style.  It's quite simple (and inexpensive), but the sheer off shoulder look is attractive and the ruching makes for a nice bodycon finish. It comes in a blush pink as well as a few other colors, but it looks best in bridal soft shades.
Off Shoulder Ruched Wedding Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
Perfect for a more casual wedding in white or a special night out in black. This simple dress shines because of the dimensional modern style roses on the fabric. The texture of the tone on tone floral just makes the dress, although the bodycon bodice...
Flower Fabric Wedding Dress

Such a lovely dress - a lacy bodice, a flattering halter neckline, and a wonderful full skirt with a sheer fluttery look that's absolutely delightful. Want to feel pretty? This dress feels almost like a guarantee.
Lace Halter Wedding Dress
 
Dee D profile picture
Okay, so it only goes up to size 14 (which is arguably plus size), but it was so pretty I had to add it. It's so lovely with the little details. Check out the embellishments on the netting and the interesting hemline. It may not be Kleinfeld worthy, ...

Plus Size Swimwear

Is it warm where you are? Or do you just wish it was? Whether it's the back yard pool or a beach in the south of France, show up and show off in a new swimsuit (bikini? tankini? one-piece?) that fits and looks great on you.

 
Dee D profile picture
Sparkly! So, upfront, it's not really very plunge, so consider that it's not as risque as you imagine it might be. That said, it does show a little cleavage, so be aware. The colors (berry and teal) are very attractive, though not everyone is into sp...
Sparkling Plunge Neck Bikini Set

Ooh! This pink berry color is fetching! This is like the plunge buckled bikini elsewhere in the same section, but with more skin exposure for optional tanning. Not as low on top and not as high on the bottoms, it still looks nice with the buckles and...

Ooh! Colors! I can't decide between the blue and the turquoise. It's a nice design: the faux wrap top won't open up like a surplice style might, the skirt is cute and flirty, plus the shorts beneath mean no concerns about your skirt going, um, unfort...

This? This is just a nicely designed swimsuit. The fabric has a slight texture to it so it's not boring, nor is the fabulous teal color. The o-ring belt feature and the ruching are both flattering and keep the suit from looking like a plain one-piece...

Oh, I like this very much. I adore white, mesh inserts are awesome, and one shoulder swimsuits are eye-catching. Where's the bad? White always flatters and can make a suntan look better. This is the kind of flattering suit you'll want to pack with a ...

Plus Size Pajamas and Loungewear

Sleeeeep… One of life's true delights. Well, if you can get it! Pajamas that feel good on help you feel good in bed so you can get good rest. Loungewear? To me that's the delight of weekends when you have no plans and can just hang out, drink good co...
