I am looking for summer dress recommendations. Must have at least 3/4 sleeves. I am 5'1" and a size 10. Links to specific dresses would be ideal. I hope I can get some help. Thank you in advance.

eShakti, Louella, Eloquii...

I'm short and curvy and the silhoette that works for me is fitted tops with flaired skirts.

Eloquii is size 16 up.

Try any of the Ann Taylor brands— Loft, Ann Taylor, Ann Taylor Factory.

Ooh that's true. I second Ann Taylor, though! Also, Maggy London.

Please post links for online shopping. It's so hard to find nice summer dresses for this height and shape.
I love those long maxi dresses but im.way too short & my stomach mqkes me look pregnant.
Wrap dresses are hit or miss & often v neck that need a shell.

My experience is that I must try on clothing, since my body shape is not 100% typical. A style that looks great with one brand may look terrible on me in another brand, due to slight variations in the pattern or fabric. Themimiboutique.com has a 7 day return policy if I remember correctly, and a huge variety of dresses.

Free shipping and 50% off! There’s more at the Loft website with 3/4 sleeves too although with this time of year you may just want to add a cardigan to something without sleeves since they’ll be easier to find.

Someone I know who is short, curvy, and plus size recently did really well at Macy's.

Anne Taylor. More items than LOFT.
Dont forget Talbots.
Dress tailored, accentuate the waist, keep skirt as close to knee length as you are comfortable with.
Any 50's style sundress will be perfect, perhaps with a cropped open cardigan for summer.
Rock your gift, girl!

I have made a discovery since first posting this. I have had a lot of luck shopping Boded. It can be pricy but they often have 40% off sales.

Yes Boden. That was a typo or autocorrect. I am curvy. I’m not obese. There’s a difference. I have large breasts, smaller waist and a large booty for my size. Yes US sizing is different.
