29 Stunning Plus-Size Dresses for All the Winter Festivities Ahead

Calling all plus-size fashion people: I've found the perfect dress for all your cold-weather moods. As a plus-size fashion editor, I know firsthand how difficult it can be to find the right outfit, let alone a dress to fit the occasion. But for this winter season, I've got you covered. Since shopping is my job, I've sifted through some internet hotspots to bring you some gorgeous dress finds fit for any of the winter festivities you have planned.
Are you in need of a formal gown for an upcoming wedding? Perhaps you need a cute, casual sweater dress for a holiday potluck. No matter the reason, I've found pieces to help you take on whatever the Winter has in store. Keep scrolling to uncover my finds from retailers such as Anthropologie, Wray, H&M, and many more.
I love the elegant feel of the off-the-shoulder detail.
I've said it once, but I'll say it again: Gray always looks so chic.
I've wanted this dress for quite some time now. It's time to buy it before it sells out.
The velvet iteration of this best-selling dress is so beautiful.
Wear this exact outfit to the office and prepare to get endless compliments.
Its giving gala attendee in the best way possible.
