Maxi dresses are a summer staple in any wardrobe, even for us plus size women. They’re perfect for chilly nights after a day in the sun or for those days when your skin is screaming for some relief from the sun.
They’re also dresses that work from morning until evening – just add accessories to dress them up or down. For daytime pair them with a pair of strappy flats, a large bag to carry your beach goods, and a hat. For evening, sandals with a heel, a paired-down purse, and a wrap to keep you warm makes it the perfect dress for your next cruise, beach vacation, or backyard party.

Plus Size Maxi Dresses
Do you have a favorite sundress or maxi dress style? Which of these is your favorite?
This is a great list! These are great styles that I would definitely recommend to clients:)
These are lovely dresses and glad that there are more options for plus sizes but… why are they not using plus size models? (Like REAL plus size models not size 8 models)
I know, I HATE that plus size companies use thin models. There’s no way that garments will hang the same on a plus size woman. It annoys me that they think a plus size woman couldn’t sell their clothes.
These are some really great picks! I am having a hard time deciding on a favorite! I think the black/white empire waist is my favorite!
I think it is wonderful that they are offering so many options for plus sizes now. I still remember the days of limited selection and feeling like everything was a tent.
So many pretty dresses! I love see a huge assortment of plus size options.
Maxi dresses are so comfortable! I love the print of the Boho dress!
Spring is the perfect time for fun prints like these. I love wearing maxi dresses, and these are all adorable.
Pretty dresses! I really love that peach one. I love maxi dresses and skirts in the summer. They’re easy and look great!
The peach is fabulous! I only wish there were more to choose from. Regular sizes have hundreds of fabulous ones.
I’m loving those dress designs. Maxis are so great since they’re easy, breezy. I love them!
I remember a what they now are calling a scarf dress–what used to be called a handkerchief dress-back in the 70’s. I owned a short one–love this longer length. I will definitely be looking to get one of these again. I am so glad they are back in style.
That’s right! I never owned one, I wasn’t that cool. 🙂
