Let’s imagine a situation. You’ve sent in your RSVP, and you already know how you’ll do your hair and makeup for the big event, but you have nothing to wear to the party. Luckily, you’ll find beautiful women’s plus size dresses at Macy’s. We carry plus size formal dresses to wear to weddings, charity galas, and other kinds of special occasions.  

Find the Best Fit 

Women’s plus size dresses offer an extended range of sizes. They’re designed specifically with your body in mind, just like other types of women’s plus size clothes. Plus size dresses won’t pull, gape, or sag in awkward places, which is particularly important when you want to look your best at a special occasion. 

Are you going to a semi-formal event? Shop our selection of plus size semi-formal dresses. These types of plus size party dresses are suitable for dressy occasions that are not black-tie affairs. Will you be attending a gala or a similar function? Browse our plus size cocktail gowns. Or, you might prefer plus size cocktail attire, which consists of dressy separates that you can mix and match to create your own unique ensemble.
