I love to wear long (ankle length) casual dresses. They are so comfortable and feminine! But I'm hard to fit. My measurements are 44/44/53...so apple shape I guess. All the dresses I'm finding on line seem unflattering for a woman with my measurements....like those with an empire waistline that would just emphasize my girth. If you love wearing long dresses and are a plus size lady, I would love to hear from you if you have found a source that provides what you need.
Plus size ladies only please!

Yaay me too and hip hip hooray for plus size ladies everywhere
Yes! This world is so negatively biased against overweight people it makes me sad. We can't all be eye candy

But some gentlemen like plus-sized ladies.
As to where to find reasonable and attractive plus-sized clothes (dresses and skirts, etc.), I don't know.

This is true, although I've never had a gentleman like that sweep me off my feet
. I'm not looking for a man. Feeling pretty good with my life as it is, just wanting to change up my wardrobe for fun.

sorry, but wouldn't 44-44-53 be pear shaped ?

QVC has a nice selection of plus clothes. They also have a size chart to use. Returns are easy also. I wear a 1X but depends on the cut. Sometimes a large is good for me. Check out their website.

I think regardless of how big or small you are, you're gonna be eye candy to many people... not everyone like someone stick slim... and I've noticed this more as we age, men seem to like women with a bit more meat on their bones as they get older.....Yes!

As far as finding a dress that will fit, if I find one that will fit my bottom, the top is way too big. So yeah, maybe pear shape is more accurate.sorry, but wouldn't 44-44-53 be pear shaped ?
I like QVC and have bought lots of jewelry from them. Thanks for the suggestion, I will check out their dress selection.
Yep it's a fact....we all observe the people around us. People watching is fun! We come in all shapes and sizes. I have no interest in attracting a man. I just want to have fun with my clothing, and not appear frumpy in the process

would a top and skirt in matching colours not be easier to find perhaps ?
That's a good thought. I will pursue that option.

I like Woman Within and buy most of my clothing there. I have bought a number of dresses there. If you don't like them you can return them with free returns.
My trouble with the long dresses (and pants too) is that I am 5'2" and everything is too long if it fits otherwise. I am not a good seamstress. Sometimes I belt them. And one dress I tie in a knot in front and make it a fashion statement.

Of course, many of us do. I like women of all sizes, healthy and happy is more important to me than size or shape. And most women I think of as "eye candy" never know it, so don't just assume you are not!
Not a plus size here, but I've bought a few things from this company over the years in regular women's sized. They have plus size too, and not very expensive.

I had forgotten about them. I have ordered from them before but not the plus size. That was back in the day!

Vermont Country Store has regular as well as plus sizes. Not a large clothing inventory but what they have is usually attractive and of good quality. Great catalog (on line and paper)..

I agree with you on QVC. I buy very little from them but I bought a jacket that I have received compliments on. Their measurements seem accurate and I compared with a jacket I already had. They do run a little large on most things and I ordered an XL and it fit great.
I ordered a Breezies bra from them. I had ordered one before and fit was good. But this one was completely off. Exact same size. Had to return it, which does cost. So I am very careful what I buy from them and won't do a bra again.
Edit to add: but size and color exchanges I think are free.

Thank you i was about to mention that. Usually the numbers are given Bust/Waist/Hips, but if she gave them other way around then she's correct. The difference is that Apples (broadest measurement on top) are more prone to heart issues than 'Pears'.

wonder what happens if you're a big girl but your top is as big as your bum
I've not heard of them, but will look on line and see what they have to offer. Thanks!

We only have one dedicated Plus size chain that I know of, Evans ... although I'm sure there's probably many online ,
Not the greatest selection but here's a good choice of summer casual dresses for the bigger girl.. ( no use to you in the USA but thought I'd let you see what was available here )
