I’m such a dress girl. I love that flowy, casual vibe of a cute summer dress. And honestly, I get a lot of my clothing from Amazon.

I’m a plus-size girly and on a budget, so Amazon fits that bill.

A lot of these dresses include smaller sizes, too, so if you aren’t plus size – stick around – you may just find something you like here, too.

On to the dresses, shall we?

Oh, wait, before we look at the dresses, how about a few more articles I’ve written recently to bookmark?

Plus Size Summer Dresses Under $50

I know not everyone lives in a boiling pot on a stove like I do in Texas, so in this list, you’ll also find a few options with longer sleeves to keep you a bit warmer on the cooler summer nights you may experience. I’m a drop jelly, to be real. But most will be true summer dresses with short sleeves or no sleeves.

Long Boho Dress

This dress is the perfect mix of comfort and style—made from the softest, coziest fabric that feels so nice against your skin. The material is lightweight and breathable, which makes it great for staying cool on warm days. It has that easy, relaxed feel but still looks put-together. Honestly, it’s one of those pieces you’ll want to wear on repeat all season. Some in xl, XXL, and 3x. (Smaller sizes too!)

Mid-Length Summer Dress

This dress is made from a soft, lightweight, and stretchy fabric that feels smooth and breathable without clinging or becoming see-through. It holds up well, too—no shrinking or fading. The floral design is so flattering on every skin tone, and the short sleeves are thoughtfully made for bigger upper arms. It has a button-up, collared v-neck and a comfortable elastic waist that gives you shape without feeling tight, while the roomy fit around the bust and coverage over the hips and belly makes it easy to wear. You can pair it with sandals, sneakers, or heels, and it works for just about everything—casual days, weddings, church, vacations, and more.

Sizes are XL-5x

This dress doesn’t come in smaller sizes.

Flowy A-Line Dress

This dress has a loose, relaxed fit, so they’d recommend going one or even two sizes down from what you usually wear. Be sure to check the size chart and model info to get the best fit (the model is wearing a 1X). The fabric is 100% polyester, and it’s surprisingly soft and comfortable—it drapes beautifully without clinging, which makes it perfect for staying cool on hot summer days. Super easy to care for, too—you can toss it in the wash by hand or machine. I have this one in my cart right now!

Sizes are 1x-4x

This dress doesn’t come in smaller sizes.

Short Sleeve Baby Doll Dress

This t-shirt dress is such a great everyday piece—it’s casual, comfy, and has a flattering baby doll fit. The high waistline and stretchy fabric give it a really nice shape that makes you look taller and more put-together without trying too hard. It’s a mini length, so it adds a cute, youthful vibe, and the V-neck and short sleeves keep things relaxed and breathable. And yes, it has pockets—big enough for your phone or whatever you need to keep close. Just one of those easy, throw-on-and-go dresses you’ll keep reaching for.

This dress comes in a lot of sizes, from small to 5x, and includes color and pattern options.

Short Sleeve Smocked Dress

I think you’ll really love this plus-size maxi dress—it’s made from soft, breathable fabric that feels so nice on your skin and keeps you comfortable all day long. The design is super flattering with a V-neck and high waist that highlights your shape in the best way. The smocked waist gives a nice, curve-hugging fit while still being comfy, and it does a great job of smoothing out your tummy and hips. There’s plenty of room in the bust, and the loose A-line hem gives you lots of movement without feeling restricted. It’s such an easy, flowy dress that still looks really pulled together.

The sizes are xl-5xl with no smaller sizes offered.

Short Sleeve Dress

This plus-size dress is such a flattering piece—it has a V-neck that adds just the right touch of elegance, and the smocked waist gives a comfy fit while really highlighting your waistline in a beautiful way. The flowy sleeves drape so nicely, and the tiered, pleated ruffle hem gives it that fun, twirly feel. It also has two functional side pockets, which is always a win. The fabric is soft, breathable, and lightweight—perfect for warm days—and while it’s not stretchy, it still feels super comfortable.

I have this dress in two patterns and love it! It’s comfortable yet still dressy enough to wear to church or on a date.

Sizes are 16xl to 26xl and no smaller sizes.

Midi-Dress Long Sleeves

This boho midi dress is such a pretty find—it’s made from a super soft cotton blend that feels really nice and breathable. It has a beautiful deep V-neck with a front tie detail that adds just the right touch of charm. The long sleeves and flowy fit give it that relaxed, effortless vibe, and the print is just lovely. It’s one of those easy pieces you can wear for anything—daily errands, a beach day, or even a casual vacation look. So comfy and stylish all in one.

This dress comes in small-xxl sizes.

Long Flowy Short Sleeve Dress

This plus size long dress is such a flattering and fun piece—it has a flowy layered skirt with a ruffled hem that moves beautifully and adds a soft, romantic feel. The print is absolutely gorgeous and really stands out. I love the flutter sleeves—they give just enough coverage for your upper arms without feeling heavy. The smocked top is stretchy and super comfortable, so it fits a variety of chest sizes perfectly. And yes, it has two functional side pockets, which is always a bonus. The fabric is soft, breathable, and lightweight—easy to dress up or down.

This dress comes in sizes 16xl-26xl – it doesn’t come in smaller sizes.
