Pretty Plus Size Day Dresses

Pretty Plus Size Day Dresses

Sometimes an all over body pattern can be overpowering which is why I love pattern block dresses like these two from Igigi. The way they are designed makes them look like two pieces (blouse and skirt) especially if you add a wide belt. The Celeste Dress (left) is $125 and the Catalonia Dress (right)...

When I worked at Penningtons, eons ago, one of the things that seemed to turn over fast were the pretty dresses. If you found something, then blinked, it was gone. End of warning. Here are a few of my favorites. I especially like the convertible ones (sleeveless, halter, skirt): As you can see there...
