The Dresses

CURVY

  • Eloquii

    Eloquii Kimono Sleeve Maxi Dress

    $130

    A dress designed to celebrate your curves, from the v-neck and flutter sleeve to the defined waist. Try it, you'll see! the high-low hemline will work for casual or dressier events. We're loving the green, but it comes in light blue, pink, and black as well. Sizes 14 to 32. Buy from Eloquii.

  • Adrianna Papell

    Adrianna Papell Plus Sequin Gown

    $369

    Softer than gold; distinct from white, there's a reason why champagne is a popular wedding color. The silhouette is forgiving, but not shapeless; the scoop back is a fun contrast to the crewneck front. And all over sequins make it shine. Available in regular sizes as well as plus. 14 to 24.

  • Alex Evenings

    Alex Evenings Sequined Chiffon Jacket and Dress

    $239

    Mother of the bride jackets get a bad rap. But we love a good jacket, and this one qualifies, thanks to its structured fit, strong shoulder, and lovely three quarters length sleeve. It adds some zing to the swingy, sleeveless chiffon dress. Sizes 14 to 24. Buy from Macy's.

  • Maree Pour Toi

    Maree Pour Toi Plus Floral Burnout Silk Wrap Dress

    $199

    That super wearable wrap style gets dressed up in this gorgeous deep floral silk. We love the flutter hem and three quarter sleeves. Sizes 14 to 26. Buy from Bloomingdale's.

  • Mac Duggal

    Mac Duggal Plus Size Lace Illusion Sleeve Gown

    $498

    V-neck is such a flattering look when you have a full bust and want the option to wear a supportive bra—and not a strapless bra! The lace illusion sleeves amp up the drama without becoming too fussy and the draped crepe skirt is oh so lovely. Sizes 14-22. Buy from Mac Duggal

  • Betsy & Adam

    Betsy & Adam Plus Size Beaded Sheer Overlay Gown

    $330

    The modern alternative to a little beaded jacket. We love the way this sheer overlay provides some coverage without looking matronly and adds some glamour with beaded embellishment. The scuba crepe material is supportive without clinging. Sizes 14 to 18. Buy from Macy's.

  • R&M Richards

    R&M Richards Sequined Gown

    $159

    When else are you going to dress up in sequins and satin? Go for it! Regal design, with godet panels that add movement to the skirt. We know you probably shy away from dresses that are cinched at the waist; the sash is removable—but try it, you might find you like that little hint of definition. Sizes 14 to 22. Buy from Macy's.

  • R&M Richards

    R&M Richards Plus Size Cold Shoulder Rhinestone Gown

    $119

    You want to go strapless, but let's get real—the girls need some support. This cold shoulder style is the best of both worlds. (Jennifer Coolidge has been rocking similar looks on the red carpet.) The strip of rhinestones amps up the look and the subtle slit is a plus. Also comes in black and teal. Sizes 14 to 24. Buy from Macy's.

  • Adrianna Papell

    Adrianna Papell Plus Size Beaded Short Sleeve

    $210

    Why does it seem like every dress cinches at the waist? If that's not the part of your figure you prefer to emphasize, look no further than Adrianna Papell. The brand just gets it—case in point, this streamlined silhouette—sans waist steam—with mermaid skirt and godets to create some movement. The hand sewn beading and sheer illusion yoke add a delicate femininity. Sizes 14 to 26. Buy from Adrianna Papell.

  • Betsy & Adam

    Betsy & Adam Strapless Tuxedo Top Gown

    $249

    Red carpet ready! Classic style; va-va-voom attitude. We love this ultra feminine take on tuxedo styling to form that sweetheart neckline. Plus, Betsy & Adam knows how to construct a bodice so it stays in place, with just a hint of spandex to stretch with you. Sizes 14 to 22. Buy from Lord & Taylor.
