Top Plus Size Dresses for Summer 2007

Summertime means weddings, picnics, and countless other opportunities to wear a beautiful plus size dress and show off those gams. Check out these sexy plus size dresses before the sale and the season ends:

Wrap Dresses.
The wrap is one of the most figure-flattering plus size dresses ever designed, and this season, there are several to choose from. Igigi's Floral Wrap Dress in Green is sophistocated and appropriate for a wide range of body types. The flexibility of this plus size dress is evident--pair it with a jacket and pearls for the office, sandals and a denim jacket for lunch with friends, or sunglasses and espadrilles for a pool party. If florals aren't your style, how about animal prints? Kiyonna has a wrap-style plus size dress that's to-die-for giraffe print that can be dressed up or down with the right accessories.

Cocktail Dresses.
If simplicity is your thing, Zaftique has a plus size dress for the cocktail hour that may be for you. Their Rhapsody Cocktail Dress in Garnet is sure to turn heads and its A-line cut flatters most plus size figures. We appreciate that Zaftique uses larger models than is standard in the industry, which is helpful in determining how their plus size dresses are likely to fit real women. And while Zaftique has rather draconian shipping policies, the sheer variety they offer in plus size cocktail dresses cannot be beat. Witness the versatility of their Divine Lace Dress in Garnet, which can be dressed up or down for most occasions with the right shoes and jewelry. Not to be outdone, Kiyonna's offering a 3/4 Sleeved Scalloped Boudoir Lace Dress that is absolutely exquisite. Chocolate lace on mauve lining makes for an elegant, rich look that can take you to the cocktail hour and beyond.

Sun Dresses.
Is there anything as lovely as a lightweight, floral sundress? While Catherines' collection of dresses is usually matronly, there's a simple Eyelet dress with crisscross cutout back that had mad potential for the summer months and happens to be on sale for less than $25. Fashion Bug also has a startlingly elegant offering in their patterned sateen sundress for less than $40. Or, for something more lighthearted, try Fashion Bug's Studio 1940® satin-trimmed seersucker sundress with pink bias stripes in peach! Zaftique's Cinched Floral Dress in Ivory is a plus size sun dress that screams "adorable" and has wide bra-friendly straps to boot. Another great plus size sun dress from Zaftique is the Sightseer with its faux shrug, and colorblock style. But the clear plus size dress winner in this category is Igigi's Polka Dot Dress in Red with a matching shrug. The empire waistline matched with bra-friendly straps and a darling pattern is an unbeatable combination, and worth every penny they're charging.

Career Dresses.
Zaftique's very rich looking Square Neck Sim Dress would be perfect for a variety of formal or business occasions, and its design is sheer magic.

As you can see, there are options aplenty this year, so whatever the occasion or your taste, there's a plus size dress for you.
