Two plus size red gingham dress outfits for graduations, baby showers, fourth of July, or any event!

Plus Size Red Gingham Dress Outfits

Outfit 1 Details

A plus size red gingham dress is a lovely choice for summer outings and events.

It has pockets!  And a smocked bodice for a flattering fit.

The gingham midi dress is available in sizes XXS – 5X.

And it is 100% cotton so it’ll keep you cool.

Speaking of cool, top this midi dress with a light-weight linen white blazer as needed.

Linen Keeps You Cool

This plus size white blazer is a linen blend!

Linen is just a classy fabric.  Period.  It drapes in a lovely and unmistakable way.

And linen is a natural fiber known for keeping you cool in hot weather.  Yes!

That’s because linen breathes and absorbs moisture.

But Linen Wrinkles…

Linen might seem difficult to deal with, but it’s actually quite easy.  And it’s machine washable! 

As I’ve said, people often ask me how to keep their linen clothes from wrinkling.

For one, linen is always going to wrinkle.  Always. 

And really, that is part of “the look.”  You know, that rich bougie b!tch look that I love so much!

Two, a linen-blend, like this blazer, will wrinkle less.     

And three, if you iron with starch, linen will wrinkle slightly less.  But, I say, just let it go!

More Outfit Details

Top the look with some Celine sunglasses in “Havana.”  Or try these shades for a more affordable option.

Add a rectangle raffia clutch with brown leather handles.

I’m low-key obsessed with bag.  And it will never go out of style, I promise.

Check out some similar options I found:

Add a bit of sophistication with these heeled sandals.

If you need a flat sandal, these are essentially the flat version.  So chic!

Jewelry

I kept the jewelry classic, gold, and fairly understated.

 Starting with these gold drop earrings. Or try these for a more affordable choice.

I’m in love with this gold-plated coin necklace, which has a lifetime guarantee: “We offer a lifetime guarantee on all our pieces. We’ll repair or replate your jewelry free of charge, for life.”

One thing to note, this coin necklace is only 14.5″ long with a 2″ extender, so you may need an additional necklace extender.

Or try this coin necklace which is a fraction of the price and 18″long with a 2.4″ extender.

As for a bracelet, how about a classic and classy gold coin bracelet?  So chic!

I have this coin braclet, which fits my slightly-larger-than-average wrists and has an amazing price!

And finish the jewelry with a gold dome ring.

See a similar but less expensive option here.

Beauty

I love this dress with a classic red lip like “Le Rouge,” or try my favorite affordable red matte lipstick, “Always Red,” from Sephora.

It has a very neutral undertone.

I also included the infamous and almost too popular Baccarat Rouge 540 perfume by Maison Francis Kurkdjian.

If it’s over your budget, I highly recommend you try the Dossier version.

I ordered a bunch of Dossier’s “designer-inspired” scents.  And so far, I love them! 

Try their “Ambery Saffron,” which is inspired by MFK’s Baccarat Rouge 540.

Oh la la!  An amazing luxury scent at a fraction of the price!

Outfit 2 Details

Same plus size gingham midi dress styled a little differently.

I feel like this look has a bit of an Americana vibe, a great option for Fourth of July celebrations.

Just like the first look has an optional linen blazer, this look has an optional denim jacket.

Add some on-trend woven ballet flats with tie closure, which are super duper cute and should keep your feet cool and comfy.

Then grab a straw bucket bag with bamboo handle, adorbs!

The price tag is a bit high, so I included some great alternatives in the links below.

Jewelry

I absolutely love these pansy flower statement earrings.

And they will look great with this flower necklace.

You’ve seen these bracelets before. 

Many of them are from the brand Mevecco on Amazon.

I recently purchased this turquoise bracelet, paperclip bracelet, and cable bracelet.

I freakin’ love them all!

You can check out my Amazon store and follow me on Amazon for more of my finds.

Lastly, add a mother of pearl cocktail ring.  I think I actually like this more affordable one better.

Perfume

Now, if you want a beautiful and intriguing scent, try Maya from Tocca.  It’s one of my favorite perfumes.

I’ve recommended it several times on the blog (here and here).

It is a warm floral, with wild iris, blackcurrant, with a patchouli heart, which makes it a little bit earthy.
