Cotton Dress Plus

I am looking for a dress to wear to a friends wedding on the weekend b4 st patties day. I have wanted a green eyelet cotton dress for it but I am plus size and having a really hard time finding one. It doesnt have to be green but if it is I would be so so so happy. It can be any color except white. Thanks so much.

I am looking for a dress for a very casual outdoor wedding this summer.
While I am in the process of losing weight, I will still need something "plus-sized" for this occasion.
I'm looking for a dress that is long or short, flowy, soft, using light fabrics [since it'll be hot and I'll be outside the entire day] and made up of loud prints or bright colors.
THIS is exactly the type of dress I'm looking for:

A little less tacky though [and expensive!].
I've tried torrid, macy*s, jcpenney, old navy, sydney's closet, igigi.... most of these sites offer plain cotton dresses and I'm not looking for that.
Any other suggestion would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Price: $59.99 $39.99

It does not specify on the packet whether its ok to hand dye it as opposed to dying it in the washing machine? plus i want a lighter shade than on the packet so i need more control over the amount of time i dye it for?

i have hand dyed with this stuff, i did it in a bucket outside because it's soo messy
just do it for the time you think, and use a "fixer" on it afterwards

I wash them (warm wash cold rinse) and iron them. I don't put them dryer because there is no need, they dry within minutes. Plus, they need to be damp for the iron. Ironing only takes a few minutes. After I iron them, I hang them over a door. After they dry, I put them away.

My shirts last a long time, and without shrinkage or broken buttons.

Why do people waste good money on a simple simple simple task you can do yourself at home?

Besides, dry cleaning has all those chemicals. Only suits, wool and silk items, and delicate synthetics need dry cleaning.

You can achieve the same crisp, clean look with good laundry detergent and a good iron.

Because they are "LAZY"

I am having my dress made but I am plus size(size 22) and I dont know what the best material would be.
I dont want a stiff dress like most of them are and I dont wand silk or satin because it shows every roll and lump.
I was told taffeta, cotton and organza might be good.

Anyone have any advice??
Like most of these designs:

The type of material will depend on the style of your dress..

Silk can be stiff (dupioni) or soft.

Satin is a weave, not a fiber, and can be made of silk or polyester. It can be stiff or soft.

Organza is stiff. Taffeta is kind of crisp.

A properly fitting dress, no matter what the material, will not show every lump and bump.

If you got this information from your seamstress, keep looking for another seamstress.

All that being said:

Soft fabrics that aren't shiny work well for most people. Satin backed crepe is nice. I like to use both sides for contrast: crepe for most of the dress, and the satin side for trim and embellishment.

Silk, if you can find a soft, non-shiny one is nice. Silk broadcloth would be one. Real silk will be expensive.

Chiffon is soft and matte and sort of floaty. It is very sheer, though, and will need something opaque under it for lining.

Georgette is soft and matte and not floaty. It is sheer, too, and needs something for a lining. Georgette is made from a crinkly fiber instead of a smooth one, so it may have a sort of stretchy feeling, Not like a knit, but different from chiffon.

A soft, light cotton or linen-like material will make a lovely, informal wedding dress.

You can go to a fabric store and walk through the special occasion section to see what fabrics appeal to you. The instructions on the back of the pattern envelopes of commercial patterns will suggest what type of fabrics would work best.

I don't know what your seamstress situation is. In general, a one-off dress made by a professional will cost two to five times what a dress off the rack will cost. If you have a hard time getting things to fit in general, though, it may actually work to your advantage to have something custom made rather than pay for a dress + alterations.
