Plus Size Kentucky Derby Style: Off the Shoulder Dress with Wide Brim Hat

Not only is it officially spring…but with it comes one of my favorite non-event events: the Kentucky Derby! Why do I love it? Well, truly only one reason: the hats! I love that for one day out of the year, people are forced to wear hats! I wish there were more hat-situations in my life! But until I move to England, I will have to be satisfied with my Kentucky Derby Hat Day! Now, a bit about my outfit…I’ve been a Fullbeauty brand ambassador for several months now, and I love that they keep adding new plus size brands to their line up! Another fabulous (and one of my favorite) brands is Fashion to Figure and they have recently joined the Fullbeauty ranks. When I saw this Plus Size Off the Shoulder Ruffled Peplum Dress from Fashion to Figure on Fullbeauty.com, I knew my Derby Dreams were about to come true!

This dress is so chic, so ladylike…and makes me think of Pretty Woman for some reason. Is it the slightly 80s flavor of dress? Who cares! I love the off-the-shoulder design. The white bodice with the black trim over the black skirt is a classic combo. And who doesn’t love a peplum?! It’s perfect for this black and white wide-brimmed straw hat from Roaman’s that I got from Fullbeauty.com as well!

Neon Florals in Sunset Hues in this City Chic Dress

LOOK! These colors are amazing! Bright oranges and blues and teals! This City Chic plus size maxi dress is everything a floral-dress-lover could want. I’ve had a not-so-secret obsession with City Chic, and I love that they are becoming easier and easier to find! They have been in Nordstrom for a few years, and online since the beginning. But now they’re in Macy’s and on Gwynnie Bee as well as part of the Fullbeauty suite of brands! I spotted this dress on Fullbeauty.com, but sadly they are already sold out (but check out the other fabulous City Chic pieces they care here)! It’s clear that City Chic is taking over the world…and why not? With killer dresses like this at fabulous price points, I can’t help but be a huge fan.

It’s the bright colors that are the most stunning part of the dress, but the design is also great. The bodice has seaming under the bust and smocking around the waist to provide a more defined shape. The rest of the fabric is light and flowy, skimming your curves. And the high-low hemline actually works with this silhouette, giving it a freedom and lightness of movement.

Plus Size Flirty Floral Dress from ASOS Curve

It’s never too early to start prepping for festival season! When the temp starts heating up and your calendar starts to fill with outdoor festivals and fests, you are going to wish you had this AX Paris Plus Size Tunic Dress with Flutter Sleeves and Crochet Hem from ASOS Curve! The bright bold print and the short flirty hem will guarantee that you’ll look cute and fresh no matter how hot the day gets. The flutter sleeves are whimsical and catch the wind perfectly. The smocked top is off the shoulder and might lay a little odd if you’re busty like me, but with some adjustments, it will lay just right. What more do you want from your festival wear? Throw on some fringe boots and a cross-body bag and you’re ready to rock the day (and night) away.

This Striped Shirt Dress is EVERYTHING for Spring!

I put this Ellos Striped Shirtdress on for a quick photo shoot, and no less than 3 people stopped and told me how much they loved it! And this was only about a 5 minute shoot. I loved it when I bought it, but after that reaction, this dress is going into my staple rotation this spring and summer! And why wouldn’t it? It’s adorable! This Ellos Striped Shirtdress from Fullbeauty.com is so classic and feminine and the full skirt is lovely and twirl-tastic!

Just a quick note on sizing, so you don’t make the same mistake I did — Ellos sizing is different, so DO NOT order the size you’re used to! I’m usually a 2X, so that’s what I ordered, but I was WAY off! So… if you’re a 14/16, go with a M, 18/20 is L, 22/24 is 1X, 26/28W is 2X and so on up to a 5X.
