Aaronica Ahh prom season. Do you remember your senior prom? I remember mine as being one of the most frustrating moments in my life. The main reason being it was a struggle in find a prom dress to fit my plus size high school body. My mother and I were on an endless campaign to find the perfect plus size prom dress.
The choices were very slim for plus size formal wear in the early ‘90’s, mainstream stores didn’t carry my size, internet shopping was just a brilliant concept in all the tech magazines, and buying something via a catalog felt like an eternity to arrive in the mail. There was no fairy godmother available to conjure up the prom dress of my dreams and the struggles were real.
But now? I have found some! Take a peek at a few of my favorite plus size prom dresses!
