"Last week, I tackled the topic of wedding gowns for larger busted ladies. This week, it&amp;#x27;s all about formal plus-size dresses! Whether you need a plus-size bridesmaid dress (for yourself or one of your &amp;#x27;maids) or a plus-size dress to wear to someone&amp;#x27;s wedding, you are not alone. And these days, it&amp;#x27;s pretty easy to find cute styles in a range of sizes. David&amp;#x27;s Bridal is an awesome source for affordable plus-size dresses in general (most of their styles come in sizes 2 through 26) so matching bridesmaid gowns for a range of sizes&amp;amp;#8212;if you&amp;#x27;re struggling to outfit bridesmaids with different body types&amp;amp;#8212;is not a problem. Another wedding dress label that makes fab bridesmaid dresses in sizes up to 30W is Alfred Angelo. Here are some plus-size non-bridesmaid cocktail dresses that I think could be options either for &amp;#x27;maids or for guests. A Shirred, &amp;quot;Mermaid&amp;quot;-Style Cocktail Dress in Champagne This spaghetti strap dress with a matching jacket is a nice choice if you want some arm/sleeve coverage that&amp;#x27;s not at all frumpy. Love the sexy, metallic-y color and the glamorous, body-friendly cut, too! Adrianna Papell Tiered Plus Size Dress with Jacket, $186.99 (reg. $268) at macys.com An Easy-to-Wear Pleated Cocktail Dress with a Defined Waist This ruched, relaxed-fit dress emphasizes curves while also covering up common &amp;quot;problem&amp;quot; areas, like belly and hips, with pretty, soft pleating. Don&amp;#x27;t care for the cornflower blue? It also comes in pink or sleek black. London Times Plus-Size Sleeveless Dress, $99 at macys.com A Wrap Dress with Feminine Ruffles This one&amp;#x27;s got adorable cap-sleeves, a belt to help define the waist and a full skirt offering plenty of coverage for the upper legs. It&amp;#x27;s fun, flirty and nothing too expected&amp;amp;#8212;exactly what most women want in a special-occasion dress. (Psst. Did we mention it&amp;#x27;s under $60?!) Necessary Objects Plus Size Puffy Sleeve Ruffled Wrap, $59 at macys.com Hopefully the small selection here is evidence enough to prove that there are decent dress options for plus size women.
