25 Curve Dresses to Wear to Weddings This Spring

Wedding season is almost upon us, and you know what that means: a beautiful union … between you and whatever you’re wearing to the big event(s). Below, 25 plus-size wedding-guest dresses and jumpsuits for almost any occasion, budget, and taste.

The Retro, Romantic Midi

Puff sleeves, a petaled print, and a pussy bow! Like that perfect vintage peasant dress you’ve always wanted, except it’s church-appropriate and actually fits over your chest.

A Floral Fishtail Confection

The Modern Hippie Option

Floaty fabric and a keyhole neckline take the classic maxi up a notch.

An Emerald Gown That’s a Real Gem

Channel “Hold Up”-era Beyoncé, but in a color that’s a little easier to wear.

A Sweet, Sexy Sundress

This overlaid illusion dress (available in four colorways) is the best of both worlds.

A Sparkly Sherbet Stunner

Take this dress in a disco direction with sleek silver accessories, or a more bohemian one with espadrilles and at least one flower in your hair.

A Playful, Punchy Mini Dress

Pro: Nobody else will be wearing this color. Con: You’ll be easy for Aunt Zizzy to find in the crowd.

The Garden Party Go-to

A pretty plunge neckline and subtle ruffles give this dress a proper English rose look. And next fall, you can top it with a plus-size biker jacket and boots à la Kate Moss.

The Va-Va-Voom V-Neck

In case you bump into that mutual friend who just happens to be your ex.

A Curve-Enhancing Cocktail Dress

That crossover bodice (available in six colorways) is just too good.

A Comfy, Sexy Sheath

Because looking hot and having a third plate of hors d’oeuvres shouldn’t have to be mutually exclusive.

A Jumpsuit for Wide-Leg Lovers

A super elegant option for when pegged pants just aren’t your jam.

A Jumpsuit to Wear a Million Different Ways

Perfect for those expecting to cut a rug at the reception.

One Knotty Frock

A modern, minimalist take on bows of the past.

A Sculptural LBD

The round-cut cape on this is less superhero, more Pierre Cardin.

A Fiery Red Dress With Killer Details

Like a vintage-inspired, but very of-the-moment, geometric sleeve.

A Short, Sparkly Shift

For your glitziest cousin’s nuptials.

A Pretty Women Dress

The Dusty Rose Dream Dress

A Gorgeous Gathered Gown

This dress’ draped bodice and dipped neckline are too pretty to pass up.

A Versatile Black Gown

Silky fabric and a timeless shape make this one a fit for most occasions.

And an Asymmetrical Version to Show Your Shoulder(s)

In navy or blush pink, this suit’s a stunner.

A “The Leg” Dress if Ever There Was One

Can’t decide which of your assets to play up? This gown won’t make you choose.

A Beautifully Beaded Black Dress

Appropriately romantic, considering the occasion.

A Total Jessica Rabbit Look

Come for the cleavage-containing mesh panel, stay for that incredible petaled skirt.
