Heading to a wedding this summer?  Or maybe just a weekend getaway?  Make Torrid your first stop!  They have a beautiful selection of dresses, dressy or casual.  So whether you’re attending a wedding or just strolling on an oceanside boardwalk, they’ve got you covered.  All of Torrid’s dresses are available in sizes 10 – 30.  Many of them with empire waists, which are super flattering, especially if you’re an apple shape or have a tummy.

Plus Size Weekend Wedding Packing List

This is my take on what to pack to a weekend wedding.  I was inspired by a trip to Maine for my close friend’s wedding.  Basically, I didn’t want to check bags.  I wanted to be low maintenance.  But, I also wanted to look fabulous [obviously 😉 ].

A Weekend of Outfits

Aside from attending my friend’s outdoor wedding, I also needed to dress for the rehearsal dinner, a day of strolling about Bar Harbor, a lot of driving, and potentially a night out on the very small town.  So with all of that in mind, I came up with this mini-capsule collection.  Two dresses and one romper, six looks.  Seventeen pieces total.  Done!

Plus Size Weekend Wedding Packing List – The Romper

I have been getting a lot of requests for rompers lately.  So I decided to include this adorable romper.  I think it’s easy to dress up for a night out or dress down for a day of driving or strolling about a seaside town.  I love that it’s knit on top and woven on the bottom!  It is so much easier to fit and more flattering than an all-woven romper.

A Night Out Plus Size Romper

In the dressed up version, perfect for a night out, I topped with a cropped denim jacket and added a heel.  Then added some great accessories like this layered chain necklace, which is great for those of us with larger necks.  It’s 18″ at the shortest chain.  By the way, I have and love the necklace!

The Cropped Denim Jacket

This second plus size romper outfit is more casual.  Again, I added the same cropped denim jacket.  I love a cropped denim jacket because if you are pear-shaped or have hips that are larger than your shoulders, you can actually get a proper fit.  Size the jacket to fit in the shoulder and you don’t have to worry about fitting around larger hips.  This jacket also has spandex, adding stretch, and making it easy to get a good fit.  And lastly, I love that this jacket has 3/4 sleeves- so great for summer nights!

How beautiful is this plus size floral dress with lace details?  Swoon!  As you can see it is just as easy to wear it to a nice dinner or event or for a casual outing.  Pro tip: swap out a few pieces and transform from the dressed up look to the casual look for the “after party.”  If there isn’t an after party, create one!  😉

In this first look, add a cropped wrap sweater for some arm coverage or warmth.  I have the same wrap sweater in blush.  I love it!  It has the perfect length of sleeve, all the way to the elbow. It is great to wear over dresses or babydoll tops.

I also added the same heeled sandal.  If you can’t do high heels, these block heel sandals makes a great alternative.  And then some coordinated accessories, like these jeweled stud earrings and a chic cork clutch.  Jeweled bracelets complete the look.  Oh and consider a shaping short for some coverage and chub-rub prevention!

This casual version might be my favorite of them all!  Pulling colors from the beautiful floral dress, add a statement earring.  A rattan bag and bangles give the dress a bohemian vibe.

Lastly, the star of the show!  This plus size yellow palm printed dress with a cold-shoulder.  So pretty!  And as you can see below, also versatile.

This beautiful dress can certainly speak for herself.  But, add some drop jeweled earrings and coordinating bracelets to be a little extra.  Top with the wrap sweater for more coverage or warmth.

Just as easily as this dress can be dressed up, it can be dressed down!  Add some trendy items, like large hoop earrings, rattan bag, and round sunnies.  From wedding guest to afternoon mimosas with a few small changes!
