Plus size resort dresses must be ready to go from the pool to roaming around. That's why we've created comfortable, relaxed silhouettes in fabrics that can be worn for al fresco dining or hitting up a gift shop. Who wants a cover-up that only works at the pool? Choose from various styles like T-shirt dresses or maxis for the cover-up that suits your needs. All of these garments easily roll up, making them a dream whether you're only toting a weekender bag or checking your luggage. Black is an essential for most, but don't be afraid to play with color with blue, yellow or green.

Plus Size Cruise Dresses

Your vacation is booked, now the burning question is: what will you wear? For those headed on a cruise or other tropical locale, it's all about swimsuits, cover-ups and dresses. Snap up these cover-ups that work double-duty and easily work on their own as an outfit. That means you can wear one sight-seeing along with sneakers and a cross-body bag. Once you're back from a long day of exploring, unwind at the pool in your swimsuit and don the same dress to run and get a snack or walk around the deck. Affordable, comfortable and ready for anything, these are the dresses your summer wardrobe needs.

Dress It Up

The maxi is the ultimate cover-up since it also works for an upscale dinner with the right accessories. Choose black or white and add gilded accessories. Statement earrings or a long lariat necklace add a dazzling effect. Finish the look with an embellished clutch and wedge heel sandals, which makes it easy to look good and stay comfy. If black and white maxis are already in your closet, opt for bright blue, hot pink or a print. The latter is a great way to bring a pattern into the mix without much guesswork since the dress is one-piece, which means all you have to focus on are accessories. This summer is yours to conquer with these cool dresses and cover-ups.
