We know how difficult it can be for plus-size folks to find quality retailers who do a range of sizes well, so we sorted out the best Lulus' plus-size dresses with corresponding reviews on feel and fit to help you make a more confident purchase decision. We found options fit for almost any occasion: a casual but cute first date dress, an eye-catching wedding guest dress, an elegant wedding gown (!), and a very sparkly party dress. We hope the brand continues to expand upon its size-inclusive range — but, until then, we'll be keeping you in the know on all of Lulus' best plus-size dresses on offer.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
Lulus Absolutely Unforgettable Black Lace Off-The-Shoulder Dress
Best Plus-Size Little Black Dress
Sizes Available: XXS-3X
Be prepared to feel very cute in this off-the-shoulder number. Customers raved about the awesome fit and how the dress made them feel beautiful.
"I love this dress! It's so cute, but runs a little big in the bust — nothing that a good bra won't fix! I highly recommend" – Natalie K., Size 1X

Lulus Home Before Daylight Periwinkle Dress
Best Plus-Size Wedding Guest Dress
Sizes Available: XXS-3X
The super stretch while still looking sleek fabric of this dress makes it an ideal style for hitting the dance floor to celebrate a loved one's nuptials.
"I bought this dress to wear to a wedding. I ordered a 3x based on the size chart, and it was a little big but not too noticeable. Next time, I would buy a size down. It's also longer than the picture, which was a good thing because I'm tall and always have a hard time with short dresses." – Taylor R., Size 3X

Lulus Taliana White Lace Button Back Maxi Dress
Best Plus-Size Dress For Intimate Wedding Ceremonies
Sizes Available: XXS-3X
Are you eloping, tying the knot at your local courthouse, or getting hitched in the backyard of your childhood home? Then this might be the dress for you. Although this elegant white maxi is ideal for the low-key bride, it may be better suited for those on the shorter end of the height spectrum. As one 6'1 reviewer notes below, it's a beautiful dress, but could have used a few extra inches on the hemline.
"I wish I could post a picture, but I didn't get a good photo. The dress is BEAUTIFUL, the back detail is gorgeous and looks so elegant. The only caveat is that the dress itself is about 3 - 5 inches too short barefooted. I have an AWESOME seamstress who has taken the job of adding a few extra inches of lace to the bottom of the dress, so the purchase isn't a complete loss. If under 6'1, I definitely think it'll be perfect, but as a 6'1 curvy gal I needed the help with the extra inches." – Francia P., Size 3X

Lulus Cocktail Hour Black Wrap Dress
Best Plus-Size Cocktail Hour Dress
Sizes Available: XXS-3X
This dress is made in a faux-wrap design, which gives you all the style benefits of a wrap silhouette without the overcomplication of making sure it's securely tied.
"Love this dress! The material is thick and stretchy. Holds everything in without showing the lumps & bumps. 10 /10." – Sara W., Size 1X

Best Plus-Size Dress For A Night On The Town
Sizes Available: XXS-3X
With 4% spandex and a 2.5-inch longer hem in the back, this dress is designed to handle any pops, locks, and drops that you throw out during the night.
"STUNNING! I love the fit of the dress. I ordered a 3X when I'm more of a 2X but I love how it looks. Perfect length and makes me feel so sexy. Pick your true size if you want a tight fit, or size up if you want more room. Overall I love this dress and I'm happy I ordered it." – Amanda M., Size 3X

Lulus Light Up The NIght Champagne Sequin Shift Dress
Best Plus-Size Dress For Celebrating
Sizes Available: XS-3X
Special occasions call for sparkly dresses. This sequin dream is ideal for New Year's Eve, birthdays, anniversaries, or whenever you need to channel a little party energy. It's a shift dress silhouette, which means it's a teeny bit boxier around the waist area (and won't hug your middle).
"This dress is perfect! Honestly, it is a little shorter than I'm used to, but it is that way in the picture, but it pushes me a little out of my comfort zone! I love the sparkles and the underlining, it's amazing!" – Ashlee B., Size 2X

Lulus Shield & Sword Black Sleeveless Maxi Dress With Pockets
Best Flexible Plus-Size Dress
Sizes Available: 1X-3X
This frock nets both the more elevated and more casual look depending on how you style it. The thick, stretchy fabric provides comfort and coverage while the side slit adds a bit of flirty allure. Pair it with sneakers or a solid pump, depending on the vibe.
"I'm so in love with the dress!!! I've bought so many things from here & every time you amaze me with how well the fit is & how good quality it is. The material doesn't feel cheap at all!! Well-made! So happy you guys are starting to do extended sizes!!" – Amoreena C., Size 1X

Lulus Irresistible Charm White Midi Dress
Best Plus-Size Bride Wedding Rehearsal Dress
Sizes Available: XXS-2X
This dress is simple, flowy, and white — which is to say, exactly what everyone wants in a rehearsal dinner get-up. Some plus-size reviewers cautioned that the top of the frock can be a bit tight on larger chests, but that the length and weight of the fabric are both on point.
"A little tight up top, if you're a DD (like me), but everything else about the dress, is PERFECT. Nice length (hits me above the knee @ 5'11") and has a nice weight to it so in the wind the dress won't fly up. Have a great feeling this dress will be my go-to, as I've already dressed it up and down!" –Katice J., Size 3X
