Plus Size Summer Dress Options
There is something about an dress that just screams Spring and Summer. If you agree, you’re going to love all these cute dress options.
I found a few dresses for each of the five categories listed below: Casual, Colorful, Neutral, Wedding Guest, Going Out.
You’ll see from the photos, I love a colorful/casual dress. Those are my absolute go-to outfit options as soon as it’s warm enough to bare my legs.
Casual
These dresses are so nice to have in your closet to throw on. I lived in casual dresses last summer. I work from home, so I rolled out of bed, threw one on, topped it with a sweater and was ready for any Zoom meeting. I also loved them to run errands in because they were so light and breezy.
