Pin This! 1920s Plus Size Dresses
There are few formal options here, and fewer dresses with sleeves. Is this due to the era?
Yes, typically formal wear was sleeveless and still is today. Women often wore shawls, wraps or light kimono coats as an additional layer. https://vintagedancer.com/1920s/buy-1920s-style-evening-wraps/ Day dresses had sleeves although there is less demand for them therefore less designers making them. If you don’t find what you are looking for, contact me, and I will do a custom search for you.
