After my last post with plus size wedding guest dresses with sleeves, I had some requests for plus size long dresses and gowns with sleeves. So I did some searching. I have to say that this was more difficult than I thought. For one, many long dresses with sleeves look “wintry.” In these dresses you would look out of place at a night summer wedding. And second, many of them looked “old lady.” No thank you!
I think the twenty four dresses I picked are perfect for spring and even summer nights but still offer arm-coverage. And I think they can be “age-appropriate” for just about everyone without looking “old” or “old-fashioned.” Ugh, why is that so difficult, designers? These dresses range in price from rentals under $100 to a beaded lace gown that is more than $500. So there is certainly something for every budget!
I will say that in my search, I have concluded that dresses by Kiyonna and IGIGI are truly designed for the plus sized woman. Their dresses aren’t just straight-sized designs cut larger which, let’s face it, is totally hit or miss when it comes to actually flattering a larger body. I mention this because if you are in the market for a dress that you are going to feel comfortable in and that is curve-flattering and flaw-forgiving, these are the places I would recommend you start. Next I would recommend Dillard’s, which came as a total surprise during my search. They had a really nice selection of cocktail dresses and gowns, including dresses by Tadashi Shoji, one of my favorite special occasion designers.

Is it ok to wear gowns with beads to the wedding?
Absolutely!
I like the second dress. The silver one. But when I click on it it goes no where. Can you tell me the designer?
Hi Stacy,
Sorry it was sold out on the Adrianna Papell website, but I found it on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2wu0kgF
Thanks!
Hi! I fell in love with the 9th dress up from the bottom, a long black one with lace sleeves and a beaded black belt. But when I click on it, it only goes to a larger photo. Do you remember the designer?
Hi Samantha,
I think that it came from Couture Candy, but I didn’t see it there. I think it has probably been discontinued since this post is almost 3 years old. I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful!
