There’s the black-tie wedding and the everyone wears the same color wedding. What happened to just wearing what the heck you want and call it a day. Don’t get me wrong. I get it. Every bride wants that day to not only be special but also look spectacular. That’s why they impose dress codes.
Since wedding season is still in full effect, I’m quite sure there are some of you who are searching high and low for the perfect plus size wedding guest dress. Today, I’m going to do my part to help you out with finding one.
Fast fashion brands and contemporary plus-size designers have some great plus-size options this year. I chose dresses that you can wear again and again in my roundup. It’s the worst feeling in the world to spend money on a wedding guest dress and then be unable to wear it again. “Ain’t nobody got time for that,” Sweet Brown said. Nobody has that kind of money to be squandering.
My Plus Size Wedding Guest Dress
Back in April, I found myself the perfect plus size wedding guest dress. It was from the Ashley Graham X Pretty Little Thing collection. It’s a chic orange lace laser cut midi dress with a square neckline. It hugs the hips and showcases the girls. In a tasteful way of course. This is the kind of dress that stands out on its own and needs minimal accessories.
The good thing about this dress is that I can wear it again for a special occassion. I slipped on a pair of Steve Madden tan suede stacked heels. In addition, I added a jewel encrusted bracelet from Lane Bryant. As well as pair of white tassel earrings. I swiped on a bold red lip and was ready to slay.
