Hi everyone! Lately I've been thinking about my wardrobe and how sparse it is. Especially when it comes to summer wear. I would like to start wearing dresses more - I love to wear dresses and skirts, but it seems that most of the dresses I find lately are buttons up the front. I really hate to wear things that button up the front because I'm so... *ahem* well-endowed that they just gape across my chest, and if I get the next size up then it's too big everywhere else. So I prefer to wear things that don't have buttons. Plus I have this problem of being plus-sized, so for some reason Google thinks that when I type in "plus sized dresses" they think I weight 400 pounds and am interested in muumuus (what a funny looking word!). Wrong, Google. I want to wear pretty dresses that still show off my figure. I'm only a 1X, for Pete's sake! I would hardly consider myself obese. Just super curvy :P
Since I have zero luck in stores, I decided to see what kind of dresses I could find online. I was actually surprised at some of the things I found. You'll see the thing that surprised me most at the end.

I'll be honest with you, I had never been on the Modcloth website before writing up this post. I just assumed that because it was popular, they wouldn't have plus-sized dresses. But they actually do! I typed in "XL sundresses" and Modcloth was one of the top suggestions! I couldn't believe it! These are definitely the favorites of the dresses I posted about, so I may be making a purchase from them one of these days...
