The Best Plus Size Floral Dresses

Why buy a plus size floral dress?

Floral dresses are romantic, flattering, and often comfortable. They’re great to wear for outdoor weddings, picnics, and days out on the town. They pair fantastically with denim jackets. They can be transitioned from day to night by pairing them with a killer pair of heels or knee-high boots and some gold hoop earrings.

What should you look for in a plus size floral dress?

• Material: Most floral dresses are made of lightweight fabrics that are breathable and intended to keep you cool in warm weather. Picking a floral dress that’s made of comfortable and tear-resistant materials is a must when it comes to the longevity of your dresses. Durable materials like polyester and rayon are machine washable and aren’t as prone to ripping or tearing as much as delicate materials like chiffon are. Polyester and rayon also tend to be less sheer and have more stretch while still draping beautifully on the body.
• Style: Floral dresses come in several diverse styles. There are long maxi dress styles that are flowy and romantic, boho off-the-shoulder dresses, casual mini dresses, wrap dresses, strapless dresses, and more. The great thing about these diverse dress styles is that they look great on everyone, and there’s a floral dress for every mood or occasion.
• Pattern: Floral patterns are incredibly versatile in colors, sizes, vibrancy, and the flowers used. If you prefer delicate and romantic prints, a floral pattern in a pastel colorway is an excellent choice for beachy vibes. Big and bold patterns are great for making a statement in a more casual or edgy look. A subtle, lacy floral pattern is great for formal occasions and can easily be worn to a wedding or cocktail party. Choosing a pattern that suits your personal style is a must when picking the right floral dress for your closet.

How do you style a plus size floral dress for the office?

A floral dress can easily be worn to the office by pairing it with a blazer, tights, and sensible heels. The great thing about floral dresses is that they can look lovely on all body types and be comfortable for most women. You can also easily transition your floral dress between seasons by pairing it with a leather jacket, knit tights, and boots in cooler weather.
