It has been many years since I have had to look for a prom dress but I can appreciate the horror of looking only to find no fashionable options in your size. The internet has opened up the dress pool considerably but you have to order early. Depending where you order from it can take up to three weeks to arrive. Better to be safe then pulling out your hair and wearing drapes later.
Because purchasing a prom dress is an investment, shop wisely. Many of the dresses can be found at more than one shop. Compare prices for the dress and shipping. Stick with tried and true colors that are always in fashion or at least come back often. Think of how you can alter the dress later (like shortening it into a cocktail dress) to wear it in the future to get the full benefit of your money. And most importantly, order early enough to allow for shipping time and having any alterations completed.
To make your online shopping easier here are a few exceptional online shops for plus size prom dresses:
Sydney’s Closet
Sydney’s Closet stocks pretty dresses and have taken the time to use plus size models to show us how they look with curves. They have been around for over ten years and are still going strong. They ship worldwide. The dress options shown below are available in sizes 14 to 26 and range in price from $230 to $450.

Prom Girl has become one of the go to spots for prom dresses and have been in business for over ten years. They ship internationally. The dresses shown below are available in sizes 14 to 30 and range in price from $350 to $480.
David’s Bridal
Do not be fooled by the name, David’s Bridal is another option for plus size prom dresses but their sizes do not go the full range of plus ranging from xs to xxl. The dresses shown below range in price from $199 to $260 and they do ship internationally.
Igigi
Before Igigi was known for their day dresses and career wear they were known for their evening gowns. They know how to dress a curvy body with style, comfort, and quality. They do not offer traditional prom dresses but they do have evening gowns that are beautiful, more affordable and designed specifically for plus size bodies to be worn again and again. They fit sizes 14 to 32 for between $160 to $265.
Do not forget your clutch, pashmina, jewelry, and shoes. Have a fun night!

When we think about it, moisture content will be the lone difference between a grape and
a raisin. · And finally for the Cinderella look, a bouffant skirt with an otherwise simple top combination.
From old-fashioned brick and mortar stores to online retailers of prom
dresses, the landscape is abound with plenty of options.
