While short dresses most certainly have their place on our summer wardrobe wish list, judging by what we’ve seen from the new collections, we predict maxi dresses will top our plus-size models’ season favourites this S/S.

The maxi is an indisputable godsend for many women; they suit almost every shape and size, they cover up any bits you’d rather not have on show, and they’re amazingly comfortable to wear.

So in preparation for the sun, Talent Management thought it only right to search out some of our favourite S/S ’12 maxi dresses from plus size clothing specialist Simply Be…

1. Colour block side split jade maxi dress from Simply Be, £40

2. Pleat crinkle strapless dress in blue from Simply Be, £58

3. Printed maxi dress in blue from Simply Be, £36

Wear any of our favourites with simple flats and a big slouchy bag for an understated, chic look our plus-size models will most certainly be rocking this S/S!
