It’s that time of year when the hotdogs and hamburgers hit the grill and everyone just wants to have fun. If you’re like me, I love everything about summer, the picnics, outdoor brunches and hot summer dates but I always get stuck when it comes to figuring out what to wear! Recently I’ve fallen in love with dresses. I find them to be the easiest thing to wear, accessorize and most of all be comfortable in. Many plus size retailers finally understand what we want in a dress! A little extra room here and a little length there! I found some fabulous chic dresses that will definitely have you hitting up all the picnics this summer!
Here are a few options up close…
This first dress from eShakti is a perfect summer dress for brunch with the girls or pair it with a summer blazer for a more dressy occasion.
If you are looking for something to wear to a day party this option from ASOS is perfect!

Hot summer date? Try this dress from ASOS.
If you are in need of something easy and breezy for a summer BBQ this dress from Torrid is perfect!
I love this iKat dress from Forever 21, it’s perfect for those hot summer nights out with the girls!
Dresses are a perfect way to beat the summer heat while still being hot and sexy! All you need is the perfect heel or sandal, kick-ass accessories and you are all set!

About the Author: Born and raised in upstate NY I always had a love for fashion. When graduating from high school I packed my bags and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in Fashion Design. Went to college and graduated and immediately began working in the Apparel Industry. Working in a variety of Fashion Houses I noticed the lack of plus size design. I decided to start a blog for Plus Size Fashion. But “Elann Zelie” isn’t just my fashion blog. I started this blog because I noticed how much I’ve grown and evolved over time. I have a different styles and interest every year and I want to look back on it, I am also doing this because I want to learn, interact and inspire plus size women!
