No matter how much time you have to get ready in the morning, throwing on a cute dress is the easiest way to make sure you feel put together and ready to take on the day. There's nothing we love more than a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion.
From breezy floral frocks to chic wraps, we've rounded up a dozen plus-size dresses that will take you from the office to a cinq-à-sept to a summer wedding.
Canadian retailer Reitmans teamed up with content creator Sarah Nicole Landry of The Birds Papaya to create a line of linen and denim pieces in her bold, playful style.
