It's not too late to play with summer dresses. Macy's plus size clothing line has a lovely array of patterns that are actually pretty and interesting to look at instead of the usual we've been subjected too elsewhere. Some of them even qualify for free shipping!
And yes, if you absolutely don't do patterns Macy's has many solid dresses in a variety of styles. All the plus size dresses you see here are under $100 and offered in sizes up to 3X:
The "maxi" dress is a hot item for plus size women this summer. Plus size clothing retailer Igigi has some of the loveliest ones available: flowing skirts, empire waists, surplice necklines, bra friendly and fully lined.
This Elena Maxi Dress even comes with a co-ordinating shrug for when the day gets cool or if you are feeling a bit bashfull about your upper arms and want to ease into baring them. This shrug designs still allows for ventilation under the arms should things warm up. It comes in sizes 14 to 32 for $162.
Sealed with a Kiss, or SWAK designs for short, is an online plus size clothing shop offering a small line of trendy clothing at affordable prizes. 
Like this adorable Nicollette Checkered Dress for $45 which comes in white/black, pink/black and teal/black. This dress is available in sizes 1x to 6x.
One of my favorite things about Swak is that they offer their customers free worldwide shipping (minimum $40 purchase). A complete rariety in the plus size clothing sector or any other.
Swak makes most of their unique designs but does offer a few other labels. While you might not like every piece they have I'm sure you will find one to three affordable items that you do.
Spring has sprung and so have the new styles. Plus size boutique, Kiyonna released a few flirty fashions to get any curvy shopper into the mood.
Like the Tory Cinch Dress in blush (also available in passionately purple and black). This faux wrap dress with accent ruffle comes in sizes 10 - 32 for $126.
Or the Felicity Blouson Blouse in floral water print. It comes in sizes 10 - 32 for $88. Great with jeans, dress pants or if you are already venturing, shorts!
To help curvy shoppers celebrate spring Kiyonna has also issued a coupon to help keep some money in your purse. Curvy customers can save $25 off their purchases of $175 or more. The coupon code is: COLOR. It expires August 1, 2009.
Celebrate pink! Plus size designer Monif C has their rose pink convertible dress on for $75. This is a huge savings for a dress which normally sells for $195. It's a change of season so they are clearing out old colors to make room for new ones. 
Rose pink is the last color from last season and quantities are very limited.
Haven't heard of the convertible dress. Well this dress, also tagged the Marilyn dress (think Seven Year Itch), is a marvel for plus size dresses (and slightly under). This dress is good for a club, wedding, party, or cruisewear. with over twenty different looks; some of them not even dresses, I'm sure you can think of more.
This is my absolute favorite Monif C's product and I wouldn't be surprised if this is what she'll be known for for the next few years. Every season they come out with fabulous colors and a few basics. The new colours so far for this season are black, olive, red and purple. It fits sizes 8 - 24.
Here's their latest video showing how to wear the dress:
