PLUS SIZE DRESSES
Looking chic and modern while being comfortable in plus size dresses should be easy! But sometimes knowing your size isn't. You may be a 1X with one brand and a 2X with another. We understand how frustrating this can be when that top you fell in love with online doesn't fit once you get it home. We design our dress collection based on plus size proportions. We have studied women's body types for over 40 years and our sizing reflects this expertise. We pay careful attention to fit so you'll look great every time. No more tight arms or baggy bodices. At Rafaella, we want you to love your curves. We believe it should be your choice to flaunt them or be more conservative. And that your choices may vary depending on the day or occasion.

Choose Your Fit
At Rafaella, we offer two signature fits. The Classic features women's plus size dresses that are non-restricting and looser around the torso. You'll find this fit under our signature Rafaella brand. The Modern is an updated silhouette that is more contoured and tailored closer to the body, while still retaining the look you've come to love. You'll find this fit under our Ella brand. Both are designed for comfort, quality and unparalleled value.
