Plus Size Special Occasion Dresses

What's formal wear without a little bit of glitz? Whether it’s our show-stopping maxi dresses to eye-catching printed pieces that catch your eye, it’s easy to add some extra shimmer to your evening with one of our special occasion dresses. Think sleeveless, off-the-shoulder or long-sleeved dresses in radiant floral fabrics, jacquard, satin or mesh. Whether you’re off to a day at the spring races or to a romantic garden wedding, you’ll find a dazzling option here.

Curve Special Occasion Cardis

When it comes to evening outfits, there’s no need to sacrifice fashion for comfort. Cover up in style with our special occasion cardis, capelets and shrugs in mesh, metallics and sequins that will add an elegant touch of luxury to your outfit. Both a practical layer and a style statement, there’s no need to wait for cold weather either—a lightweight shrug will look gorgeous draped over your shoulders for summer events too. Style with a dress or over an evening top and dress pants.

Plus Size Special Occasion Pants

If dresses are not your style, try a pair of smart dress pants with a sparkly evening top and jacket for a more elevated, modern style that still looks sophisticated! We also offer a range of plus size pant suits for special occasions, that are ideal for a more formal elevated look, or just for some extra comfort – they are ideal also for a day at the races, or for a stylish and modern mother of the bride look.

Our clothes for special occasions are often crafted from a blend of manmade and natural fabrics, and are designed for exceptional comfort without compromising on style so you can dance the night away!
