I am a plus-size, full-figured, curvy woman. But just like any other woman, I love to dress nice. However, I also do not want to go broke building a seasonal wardrobe. So finding a good deal on clothing that fits me is key, especially for dresses. Here are 10 plus-size dresses for under $100.00 to keep you cool and fashionably chic this summer.
Maxi Dresses
This style of dress is a favorite of us tall and curvy gals. Maxi dresses come in many styles from day casual to elegant evening looks. Because of their length, the maxi tends to be the more expensive style of dress in plus-size fashion. So finding one that is stylish and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg is often difficult. Check out these fab maxi finds:
Dress in soft crepe with tiers, from $59.99 to $64.99 at Woman Within.
Colorblock Faux One Shoulder Maxi Dress, $88.00 at the Avenue.
Jade Garden Maxi, $88.00 at City Chic.
Finding the perfect cocktail dress for summer garden parties, luncheons, weddings and casual evening parties over the summer can be difficult regardless of size. You need to find the right mix of femininity, semi-formal and adaptability (you want to be able to wear it more than once). This summer uneven hem cocktail dresses are trendy for plus-sizes like these two lovelies:
Dip dye shark bite dress by Seven7, $99.95 at Lane Bryant.
Iris uneven hem dress, $89.95 at Lane Bryant.
