As the sunny summer season approaches, it is time to put away those thick, long sleeve dresses and take out those midi/short summer dresses. With the rising temperatures and longer days, nothing screams summer more than a cute and breezy summer dress. Whether it’s a floral print, vibrant colors, or a minimalist design, summer dresses are a staple in every woman’s wardrobe. The best part is, they are not only fashionable but also comfortable, allowing you to beat the heat in style.
I live in Houston, Texas so not only do I live in a city where the summer heat can be unbearable, but it is also humid. I wanted to find dresses that are:
- 1. Excellent in Quality.
- 2. Flowy and Comfortable.
- 3. Midi/Short length.
I went to my trusted fashion online store, SHEIN, to find affordable and fashionable dresses that meet these requirements. SHEIN has always been my go-to store for trendy and affordable clothing, so I was confident that I would find a great selection of summer dresses. I ended up purchasing several dresses, and I found five amazing plus size dresses that I cannot wait to show you all.
SHEIN VCAY Plus Size Vacation Casual Printed Splicing Dress
This dress met all of my expectations. I absolutely love the color, how comfortable this dress is, and the flow. I love the shirred stitching at the top area of the dress and I also love the lenght. This dress is excellent for the summer and even for the fall season.
Overall, this dress is excellent in quality, is comfortable and flowy, and the lenght is *chef’s kiss.*
I paired this look with my Target wedges and I love how comfortable both the shoes and dress are.

SHEIN Privé Plus Ruffle Trim Smock Dress
This dress is my favorite one so far! It is such a comfortable and cute dress and I love that it’s in black! I always wanted this styled dress but my previous experiences in purchasing this style was not great. Either the top part was too tight, or the flow of the dress made me look pregnant and I just couldn’t pull this dress off. But lo’ and behold, this dress completely changed my views on this style.
It fits great, it is not tight, and I feel extremely confident and sexy with this dress on. I also love that I can style it differently, I can wear heels or sandals, either way it is a versatile dress and I love it very much.
I paired this outfit with my comfortable and stylish Sam Edelman Linnie Bit Mules and I love how this whole look turned out.

SHEIN LUNE Plus Size Holiday Casual Short Flutter Sleeve Floral Dress
When I first saw this dress, I was a little on the edge of purchasing it because I love solid dark colors and this dress is a lighter and floral print color dress. It was also short in lenght, but I decided to purchase this to check it out.
One of the things I noticed of the dress, the color is a little different than what was pictured, but it is still cute. I love the flow, the brightness, and the sleeve details. This is an excellent summer dress and it’s very fashionable. I will say, it is a little tight on the chest area, but it’s still comfortable to me and I have no problem with this dress.
I paired this dress with my Sam Edelman Fitz Slide Sandals. I love the color combination and they are super comfortable and stylish.

SHEIN VCAY Plus Ruffle Sleeve Tunic Dress
Okay, so this dress is a complete game-changer. I am one those women who loves modest midi/maxi dresses, but this one is a little different as it is a short dress and it’s something that I’m not used to wearing, but when I bought it and tried it on, I felt so confident, so comfortable, and so beautiful in.
I’m still trying to get used to the length, but I pair this dress with low heel shoes like wedges, sandals, espadrilles or my personal favorite, tennis shoes. Overall, this dress is really cute and comes in variety of colors, but the light pink is my personal favorite color.
I paired this look with my Michael Kors Kendrick Wedge Espadrilles and it pairs so well with the colors of both the dress and the shoes.

SHEIN Clasi Plus Size Women’s Sleeveless Floral Print Long Summer Dress
This dress is amazing in so many ways: the color options, the floral design, the material and the lenght, and I love that it includes a snap button on the cleavage area. Although it is a long dress, it’s very flowy and comfortable and I still feel cool when I wear it in the summer heat. I love how versatile it is since I can pair it with all types of shoes.
I bought this dress for church and I’ve gotten so many compliments from friends and family members. I really love this dress and plan to get it in a different color.
I paired this outfit with my Christian Louboutin black heels and it just gives it that elegant and fashionable look.
