Spring is in the air and soon the hot days of summer will be upon us. This is the perfect time for plus size dresses. Nothing feels as cool and comfortable as a pretty dress in the warm weather. This season designers have several styles of plus size dresses to offer. You can find styles from very formal to pretty sundresses. Colors range from neutrals to bright along with lively prints. Retro styles are popular this season with inspiration from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s showing up on runways. Pretty accents like flutter sleeves, tiered skirts, wrap dresses and flowing styles are on trend right now.
The wrap dress was first introduced by Halston in the 70’s and since then has remained a staple in women’s wardrobes. Plus size dresses in the wrap style are very flattering since they give the illusion of a smaller waist. If you have a curvy shape, wrap dresses will look especially good on you since the style accentuates your natural curves. Very bold patterns are also a hallmark of this season’s wrap dress. These also draw inspiration from the patterns and colors of the 70’s. Pair them with some cute wedges and you’ve got the perfect look for any occasion or to wear to work this spring and summer.
Empire waist dresses have been popular for quite some time now and for good reason. Empire waist plus size dresses hide a multitude of full size figure challenges. If your tummy is a bit large, or your hips and thighs are large, an empire size dress will help to hide these facts. You can also wear shorter empire waist dresses as long tunics with leggings or pants. This look when paired with ballerina flats or sandals is one that can take you to town or out on a date.
Sundresses are favorites for spring and summer because they keep you cool and look great. Plus size dresses that are sleeveless or have sexy straps look great on almost all women. If you’re self conscious about your arms, simply slip on a cute short jacket made of a light material. Knit or crochet shrugs are also an attractive way to camouflage your arms and back. Sundresses come in several styles, colors, prints and materials.
Gauzy plus size dresses in bright colors are very hot right now. These can be short, mid-length or maxi-length. Styles showing up on the runways include full almost caftan silhouettes, tiered dresses with contrasting colors and simple A-line dresses. With so many styles to choose from, you are sure to find ones that flatter and fit you this spring and summer, and keep your cool during the hot months.
