Plus-Size Easter Dresses Shopping Guide

Easter often feels like the unofficial start of spring. With its pastels, cheery decorations, and events that take place outside (looking at you, Easter egg hunts), the holiday has a way of personifying everything we love about the changing seasons. The sun gets brighter, flowers bloom—and we tend to dress up in cute plus-size Easter dresses (and jumpsuits) just to talk about bunnies and eat brunch. In some ways, Easter ushers in spring more so than the actual calendar.

But what makes a dress Easter-worthy? Could it be the spring colors and romantic florals? Or is it all in the details—frilly sleeves, breezy silhouettes, and light fabrics? Perhaps we just know one when we see it. It’s a dress that reminds us of sprawling out on the grass, ordering waffles and mimosas, eating chocolate shaped like a bunny. It’s a dress we can wear all day without getting uncomfortable. Something that works for any Easter plans—whether that’s church with your family or brunch with friends. Plus-size Easter dresses simply…feel like Easter.

Unlike some other holidays—like Christmas, where red and green reign or Fourth of July, where decking out in red, white, and blue is the norm—Easter doesn’t come with a color scheme. This means that almost anything goes. Lilac and mint green are just as appropriate as a bold orange or dark teal. There are no hard-and-fast rules here—so wear whatever you feel cutest in.

Of course, some dresses really do scream Easter. And it’s pieces like these that we’re often drawn to this time of year. Thankfully, most plus-size Easter dresses are wearable through all of spring and summer—making it easier to justify stocking up on a few. From frilly mini dresses to flowing maxis, you can’t go wrong with any of the Easter dresses below. So hop to it.
