Loving what we have found? Do you see why we are excited, here?? Aren’t these dresses calling your name? We know they are calling ours, and while we don’t have a place to rock them yet, we are here for all things glitter, lace, drama, and attitude. Aren’t you? Ha!
And when you get the chance, make sure you layer or cover up your plus size holiday dresses with a fancy plus size faux fur jacket or a fun plus size leather option, to add to the drama and keep you cozy in style!
We love the options in style, price point, quality, and attitude. Not all are EXTRA sexy or conservative. Not all are one-wear only. Not all are extremely expensive or fast fashion. There is range and variety- something we have been looking for, for ages, it seems like!
As if these don’t provide inspiration and excitement, if you have the chance, make sure you check out some of your favorite plus size retailer’s and designer’s Holiday collections! We were pleasantly surprised to see a few emails about them. Make sure you check out the other options that these sites have to offer!
Let us know: Which dress has your name on it? Which style of dress appeals to you? Have you already scored your dress? Let us know!
Whoa.. That Tadashi Shoji I’ve been coveting is following me around! Too bad it’s SO far outside my price point.
I can oogle though..oooo.
Isnt it gorgeous!!!
omg I love tadashi things. but im short and I will tell you though you may laugh that i turn tunics into dresses. They are like ” oh my where did you get that sparkly dress from?” I smile and say nothing why would I tell them its a tunic? lol But yes I like mini dresses and some that go to the floor but I drown in them and I am not trying to fall down the stairs ( happens) at times do not want to wear heels, so yes this year will be skirt and long sleeve sparkling tunics! oh and maybe two of these dresses.
I love this! Great for options!!! This is great that you have options here and that you are resourceful!
That blackberry lace dress from Nordstrom is just beautiful. I rarely like formal dresses because most do not come in color which I prefer over black and this color is lovely. I have a feminine artsy style and this fits me perfectly. Thanks for sharing!
