Casual Summer Clothing Finds: Extended and Plus Sizes

Today we’re chatting about summer dresses that come in long and plus sizes. I know you’re probably wondering what I can write about long and plus size clothing. While I don’t personally wear tall or plus sizes, I know many AWSL readers do, and I acknowledge that the fashion industry has historically neglected the needs of this demographic. Whatever size you wear, it shouldn’t be hard to find stylish and well-fitting options, so I set out to find some options.

I started looking for companies with a commitment to inclusion and compiled a list of brands and retailers that cater to women of all sizes. Today, I am sharing some casual summer outfits available in wide and plus sizes. I hope these pieces empower you to embrace your personal style with confidence and grace.
