Amber says, “I’m about to graduate in May with a B.A. in Fashion Merchandising, and I’m having the hardest time finding a dress to wear under my graduation gown! I’m looking for something light, but still sexy and I’m a size 16. Can you please do a post on graduation dresses?”
Sure thing! Finding the perfect frock to flatter your curves can be difficult.
Look fly and smart with these fun options in sizes 14 and up:
Also check out online retailers like ASOS Curve and MonifC for more eye catching offerings.
I love this Marylin Covertible dress from Monif C:

ASOS is a wonderful site as well for our plus size divas. They always have bright & flowy clothing…

I’ve purchased plus sized clothes from eshakti.com. They’re clothes are great and you can have them customized to fit your body. All you have to do is plug in your measurements, and you can have a dress that’s made for you. I think it’s only $7.50 extra for this service.

@noel, I just got one at Macy’s it the junior’s section, no less. Also, Rachel Rachel Roy has a few cropped shirts that are super cute and oversized so they’ll fit a large range of sizes.
Lastly, most of these oversized cropped shirts are just two pieces of squares/rectangle shaped fabric sewn together.
So, if you have any sewing skills–even marginal ones–I say you make one!
