Cocktail Dress Recs?

Jul 29, 2013 06:56

I'm about a size 18 right now, hourglassy but with a belly. Measurements are approximately 48-37-50. I need a cocktail-type dress to wear to an event in mid-August. Can you point me toward a few lines/retailers you like?

Stop Staring are good - mainly if you like vintage-y styles!

I'm around similar measurements (46-38-48) and buy the majority of my dresses (that fit cocktail attire) from Pinup Girl Clothing (my favorite styles are the Heidi, Netti, Evelyn, Betsy, Lana) in size 2X.
I also shop at Mod-Cloth quite a bit- they have a growing plus size section of dresses and based off their new plus size chart I take the 1X.
Asos is also a good resource for dresses-I generally take a 18UK.

kiyonna isn't cheap but the dresses i've gotten are very flattering, comfortable and high quality.

Thank you! I did end up going with the Kiyonna Valentine dress and it was a great hit.
