Do you ever see a dress that’s way out of your price range at the moment, but you still want it? Then you keep going back and checking out the dress, torturing yourself, until you finally give in? This one is it for me: it’s a plus silk dance dress from Tashadi Shoji with the perfectly amount of embellishment to make it special.
Available in an aqua color, it’s glowing from the get-go, but the cool details don’t stop there. The details at the waist/bust are “mesh covered jewels,” which sounds intriguing, and there is plenty of pleating to add swish …read more

What do you think about this Liz Claiborne dress, available in multiple plus sizes up to 24W (I think 18 is sold-out)? At first, I was like “Oh no, that’s way too busy,” but then I realized that it’s just the kind of thing you need to make a statement, and furthermore, it’s on sale.
This is not your typical busy pattern, mind you, but a pretty good combination of Indian hand printing with a bold color scheme. Success! The dress, I can see, is quite high-quality, and that vintage-inspired shape is just perfect for the hourglass among us.
Imagine this with …read more

Choosing a plus-size dress isn’t easy when you’re going to the same old sites again and again. . . that’s why I like to use ShopStyle from time to time to mix things up! Today I jumped on there to check what was going on, and I found this simple sundress up to size 20 in plum and black.
Ahhh. . . so gorgeous, so simple! If you’re a cover-up junkie like me, you can slip all sorts of shawls and shrugs on over this one, or knot a plain white button-down on over the basic bodice for a bit of …read more

I’m really, really liking this floral jersey dress: it’s so sexy and clinging, and if there’s one thing we all need, it’s a good v-neck. Not only does it make you look slimmer and trimmer, but it also adds a ton of shape to your face and neck, while making the most of that cleavage.
This super find from Evans starts at UK size 14 and goes up to 30–not too bad at all. It has a great inspired back v-drape as well, which adds balance to that belted waist and shaped skirt. I would like to have it in pink …read more

Say hello to La Grande Dame, a new plus-size shop in town. . . and its amazing Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis-styled beauty that I must, must have! Available in a black stretch cotton with a hint of Lycra, it’s far from the dreaded “plus silhouette” that some of us loathe, but still perfect for the larger-figured woman.
Let’s brainstorm for a bit on the million and one ways we could style this one up. Let’s see. . . we could try it with demure flats or slim gladiators, an adorable clutch, pearls if we dare, or perhaps a lovely little shrug to …read more

Silhouettes– which just so happens to make shoes of my dreams and very appropriately-proportioned/scaled plus items– has this great beaded dress in their “new items” department. I feel a little guilty about featuring it, because they have a ton of spring stuff and swimwear, but then again, we’re probably all headed to at least one spring fete this year!
This dress in georgette features lines of beads down both the front and back, and it’s $99 in sizes up to 26. I love that it has natural shape without falling too close to the body. . . very possibly a good …read more

Arietta has put some wonderful details into this dress (the sweetheart neckline, ruched waist, mesh overlay), and the black skirt in contrast with the color bodice with will have a slimming effect on all who wear it:

I love the print detail on the skirt, as well.  The color is listed as “pink,” but it looks more like a rose from this photo.  It’s also available in aqua, coffee, purple, magenta, and black and white.
You can get this at Zaftique.  They have a VERY weird sizing system, so refer to their sizing chart here.  They also offer plus size active wear and intimates, …read more
