That one is also Old navy. If you go to ON's website and go to plus size dresses, there are a lot that look beachy/summery. I think a 1X in plus might work. Given your size, you could fit in their "regular" sized stuff, but most of those beachy-looking dresses are totally sold out/picked over.
Thanks! I can't do strapless, because it don't think my 38Gs will enjoy riding in a strapless bra for 10+ hours. I actually tried on a ton of stuff at Old Navy recently, and I don't understand their sizing. The XLs typically fit thanks to their insane vanity sizing, but they must be made for short people because they all hit mid-thigh. I have no torso whatsoever, so short dresses is not a problem I typically have experienced.
I think I'm going to stick with the navy dress, if only because I just can't deal with online ordering. I don't want to play "guess the size" and have to order a half dozen dresses to hopefully find one. I am also bathing suit shopping now, so I'm out a few hundred already while waiting for a whole bunch of tops to arrive so I can try those on here. To have to throw dress trial and error into that is more than I can handle right now.
Thanks to everyone who found me stuff! I have lots of ideas for holiday party shopping now!
Hey. Sorry I've been unplugged pretty much all weekend. I really like the navy dress you have. Also I like the earrings you posted from Bauble Bar.
I would do a nude shoe so you can get more wear out of them. Navy is neutral so almost everything you posted in the accessories picture could work. Orange and blue are complementary colors and will be perfect in a Hawaiian setting.
You'll have to post a pic wearing the outfit!
Thanks!
I actually already own the gold wedges, but I'm sick of them. I have been browsing around for a different cute sandal since so much is marked down and so far, I'm not finding anything I love.

You could always hit up Hilo Hatties when you get to Hawaii and get a cute Hawaiian print dress. They carry regular and plus sizes and they have some cute sheath/tank dresses (its not all muumuus!)

That dress you have bought is really cute. I love it's style and of course, the color is very nice. Just pick some awesome accessories that will perfectly match to the color and to the style of your dress.

Have you tried the Wacoal Red Carpet strapless? The sizing ends up a little wacky, but I am the same size as you and it is very decent. I wore it regularly last summer with tanks all day and it felt comfortable.
