items I'm excited to be headed into the spring season. I struggle finding dresses since most retailers don't have a ton of in-store options for mid/plus sizes. Hope this list helps you!

Gowns
This gown comes in a bunch of colors. I love the Deep Cobalt if you're looking for a change from black.
Sachin & Babi Kayla Halter Gown
This dress is perfect for events that call for cocktail dresses. It comes in a few different colors - I have the black and have worn it every year at least once! Size down.
Kiyonna Mademoiselle Lace A-Line Dress
I am obsessed with this gown. The details are stunning! Sadly, I can't justify the price on this (though it is 100% worth it!) because it's definitely a wear it once every other year kind of dress and I don't have space for that in my closet.
Mac Duggal Floral Sequin Long Sleeve A-Line Gown
This is STUNNING.I love the shoulder detail and the beautiful color options.
Sachin & Babi One-Shoulder Satin Charmeuse Gown
The cut of this gown is perfection! The faux wrap is so flattering and the Evergreen color is gorgeous! I'm 5'5" and needed to have it hemmed, but it would probably be fine if my heels were a little higher.
After Six Sleeveless Satin Faux Wrap Gown
I love the flowy sleeve on this one. The dessert rose color is beautiful, but didn't look good on my, so this is going back to Nordstrom. The slit is 🔥.
Convertible Neck Long Sleeve Chiffon Gown
I love a jumpsuit! Formal, but no leg shaving? Sign me right up! The fabric on this is perfect and it skims the body in all of the right places. This one is a winner! You'll want to size up - this runs small.
Dessy Collection Strapless Crepe Jumpsuit
This gown is so classic! And for a reason! The A-line skirt with the sweetheart neckline looks beautiful on everyone. I felt like this ran a touch small. Size down, especially if you have a fuller bust. Note: the burgundy color leans more cherry red....
Alfred Sung Strapless High/Low Ballgown
This might be the most stunning gown I have ever tried on. I'm 48 years young and struggle with gowns that either look like I'm going to prom or am the mother of the bride. This one hits the spot and looks fabulous on my curvy figure. I want to wear ...
Mac Duggal Illusion Neck Sequin Gown
I fell for this one the second I took it out of the box! I love a printed gown - they're hard to find! The bow on this dress is the perfect detail to let the fabric shine, but still give a bit of interest.
Sachin & Babi Chelsea Bow One-Shoulder Gown
I have a fuller bust and feel SO SEXY in this dress. You will need some tape to hold it in place, but it's totally worth it.
BHLDN Leila Deep-V Flutter-Sleeve Satin A-Line Gown
I find halter necklines to be so flattering. This gown is lovely on an hourglass figure - maybe avoid if you're self conscious about your waist.
BHLDN Ruby Twist Halter Satin Gown
The ruching on this dress is so pretty! I love the floral pattern too!
Hutch Luxe Sleeveless Ruched Side-Slit Satin Maxi Dress
Shoes
Block heels = so much stabler & comfortable! These show off your pedicure too, which is nice.
Nine West Allora
I love the shine on these!
Vince Camuto Faiza
I love the pointed toe on this pair. They come in a pretty silver too.
Stuart Weitzman Emilia Mary Jane Flat
One thing about me is that I'm have the combined taste of a toddler and a magpie when it comes to shoes. If they're beaded, I'm in! I don't love the strap, but if you're wearing a floor length gown, they the toe of your shoe is probably the only part...
Schutz Gayle Flat
Sometimes you need a ballet flat to get through the night. These are pretty, comfortable, and unobtrusive.
Sam Edelman Felicia Ballet Flats
I love a kitten heel for a little extra height without risking my neck. These shoes add a little glitz while still being unobtrusive and neutral, letting your dress be the focus.
Devin Kitten Heel Slingback Pump (Women)
I can't wear super tall heels anymore, sadly. This slingbacks have a kitten heel that give me a little more height and better posture without sending to the ER with a broken ankle. I have these in silver and they're the perfect match with most of my ...
