If you’re a bigger gal, you know how hard and frustrating it can be to find cute plus size summer dresses – especially ones that are actually affordable! All the time wasted looking through the meager clothes racks only to find the same old things; boring, and often ugly, tent-like dresses. Why should us larger women hide? You’re beautiful, and so are your curves! Embrace them, and be free of those horrible circus tents they call plus sized dresses!

It’s easier than ever to find super cute plus size summer dresses, all you need to know is the right place to look. I love shopping online, it’s simple, fast, and you can find so many different places that offer plus sized clothes! My favorite shops are ones like woman within, igigi, torrid (they have hello kitty shirts!!)

For plus sizes, I recommend wearing dresses of a medium length, with an empire waist or a belt that wraps around, as these accentuate curves and draw the eye away from anything you might not like. Single colors mixed with vibrant patterns is so in, and it conceals all the right places, giving you a sleek, curvy, sexy figure.  I love the “breezy morning dress” at igigi. Blue and white, with a delicate swirling pattern at the bottom and a white band around the top below the bust, it’s absolutely adorable and perfect to wear to that up coming summer party!
