Reader Request: Keeping Vegas Classy with Curves
Kendra, congratulations on your birthday! Vegas will be amazing, I'm sure! Too bad you won't find Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin gallivanting around Sin City these days. But! You can still channel the glamour of the fabulous '50s and swinging 60s with modern dresses made just for women who are workin' with curves.
You might find yourself out shopping with your friends during the day, and you'll want to look effortlessly chic if you ladies stop somewhere for cocktails before returning to your hotel. I love how perfect the vintage inspired shift dress would be if you're staying at The Sands. And even if you're not, it's a great cut for girls trying to deemphasize their legs and who don't have a lot going on up top. For bustier girls, I would suggest wrap-style dresses like the second two that have larger lapels to deemphasize shoulders and visually add more of an hourglass shape.

If you're heading to the gaming tables or maybe plan on taking in a show, you'll want to look a little more glamorous. For the psychedelic style you might expect from a late Rat Pack era film, the fourth dress is simply a stunner. Satin and structured, the cut accentuates your waistline, and this manufacturer works with custom sizes built to fit your proportions. The wide collar deemphasizes the shoulder, and the v-shaped waist is ultra flattering. The wrap-waist and gathered pencil skirt of dress five will give you the confidence to step out in this starlet style dress. As for the black number? Besides being a versatile purchase, the style is oh so flattering and would look quite dressy paired with the right accessories, shoes, and dare I say, hat? Yes!

Don't forget to check out Etsy for vintage plus-size dresses- I've seen plenty of cute ones during my searches for large dresses. And if you're still looking for that plus-sized dress with some va va voom, check out these sites below!

This post would be incomplete without mentioning the amazing site, Stop Staring! Seriously, fabulous vintage-y dresses with the perfect amount of sultry and demure.
That’s an amazing round up you did!
This is such a wonderful post!! Super helpful, and you’ve listed some excellent sites. I, myself, am a huge fan of ASOSCurve. :)
That olive green dress just makes my eyes so happy…it looks like the kind of dress that would flatter anyone…and a shirt dress is pretty much a guaranteed fall-back stunner!

Hi Mandi! Beautiful choices! Both Mod cloth dresses are my favorite! I might just buy one for an upcoming party I am heading to. Now I just have to decide the red or the blue! Thanks!
Have a lovely weekend!

Ooo so many cute ones! I’m loving that green faux wrap from eShakti, always wanted to try ordering from them. Stop Staring is a great one too! My BFF and I are both a bit bigger, and highly recommend Kiyonna, a local place here in SoCal that sells in a bunch of stores and also on their website. They have such pretty things for plus sizes, and a lot of their dresses are very vintage inspired. Great quality too! :)
