Prom dress for plus size

15 replies

I’m looking for a prom dress for size 18 child with a large chest. Not going to find anything in shops so need to look online but don’t know where to start.

Depends on budget but ASOS has some great bridesmaids dresses that would work for prom, and a general decent plus size collection

Tell us more- height? What colours/ styles? B

Height 5ft 6 ish. Any style that would look good. Isn’t fussy but just wants to feel confident and so will pay more for right dress

ASOS?

Little Mistress do some lovely maxi dresses in larger sizes, and some of them have a ruched elasticated bodice which gives extra flex and comfort.

What colours does she like? Block colours? Patterns? Floral?

Monsoon go up to a size 20 in stores.

Jane1014 · 20/04/2024 12:43

The problem is she has a very large chest so dress style has to accommodate that .

How large? I am a 38gg and a size 20 and still find lovely things to wear.
Is this your daughter?

Has she been fitted for a really good bra? I suggest a trip to bravissimo before dress shopping.

Ever pretty has lots of styles, check their size guide as they aren't the same as high st sizing. Anything which crosses over with abit of give can work well (I'm the same size) and a bandeau for modesty if needed on some styles

We had the opposite problem (tiny 16yo) and ended up getting made to measure from JJs House. Arrived safely, fitted perfectly and wasn't too expensive (about £150).
