Tube Dresses

Voluptuous Clothing now has an online shop featuring a select line of their products. Two items that stood out for me were a long and short tube dress. The short Linen Layered Dress ($64.50) has the ruffle layers that women have been coveting this season while the long Long Layered dress ($69.50) has a pseudo layer look. And if you really would like a little more coverage at some point while you’re wearing one of these dresses they have a cute bolero ($35).

Obviously, the tube dress isn’t for every plus size body. A bra is still a must but at least these days finding a strapless bra in larger sizes is easier. If you are able to get to Lane Bryant they have an excellent one (no shipping to Canada yet, boo) and of course our very own Addition-Elle usually carries a convertible bra. Another option is getting clear bra straps on eBay to replace the straps on one of your bras.
