Belle,
I feel like I need a unicorn. I want dresses for summer that 1) have sleeves, 2) don’t have puff sleeves, 3) aren’t nap dresses, 4) aren’t prairie dresses, and 5) don’t cost over $200. Everything I find seems to have puff sleeves. That’s not me. I’m an accountant in a business casual but more business type office.

I like a puff sleeves, but it’s a trend that we could pump the brakes on a bit. Let’s see what we can find.

Donna Karan Linen Blend Shirtdress ($169)
Jessica Howard Plus Size Dress ($138)
Spanx Air Essentials Dress ($148)

thank you. a very strong list. PS that mango dress did not work for my 125lb, 5ft2″ pear shaped body.
I haven’t looked at DK for ages! That shirt dress comes in other colors if you look around. But also – how amazing is this one https://www.donnakaran.com/collections/dresses-and-jumpsuits/products/d5cbm902cnat
GREAT question!!!! i also am not a fan of puffed sleeves. thanks for your response!!!!
I just has a conversation with a coworker yesterday about how puff sleeves are apparently back in and it just makes me think of Anne Shirley.
I love this question and post! I just can’t do the puff sleeves, I’ve tried, I look ridiculous!
Beautiful Halogen dress in particular, checking it out now!
Calvin Klein also has some great, quality classic dresses.
Surprisingly Belk also has good options.
Both available in plus sizes!
