29 Pretty Yet Casual Plus-Size Dress Finds That Are Perfect for Summer

It's no secret that the fashion industry has struggled to keep up when it comes to creating inclusive clothing options for plus-size fashion enthusiasts. While progress can feel stagnant at times, there are a handful of plus-size retailers and brands emerging to slowly fill the gap. As a plus-size fashion editor, I make it my business to keep tabs on these inclusive options and plus-size-friendly clothing drops. I've recently dug through the virtual aisles of the internet retail world to uncover pretty, casual dress styles in sizes up to 4X.
I spent hours combing through my go-to extended-size retailers to hunt down the best causal plus-size dresses available online right now. Ahead, you can expect to find frocks from popular brands like Anthropologie, Nordstrom, Eloquii, and so many more. Keep scrolling to find your latest dress obsession.
