Always Have the Appropriate Outfit for Church
Whether you go once a week or more often than once, it’s important to dress appropriately for church services to show respect to the community. Since it is a time for reflection, dressing appropriately helps to create a more serious atmosphere. Wearing plus size dresses that are too revealing or casual can appear disrespectful to others.
What Plus Size Dresses Are Considered Appropriate for Church?
It’s usually recommended to dress modestly. Dresses that are knee-length or longer, not sheer, and cover the shoulders are considered acceptable. Avoid tight fitting dresses or dresses with revealing necklines that would show too much cleavage. Below we listed some of the women’s plus size church dresses that we would suggest wearing to church or church events.
- Shirt Dress: this style dress has similar characteristics to a button down shirt. It will have a collared neckline, button front or button front detail, and usually cuffed sleeves. This can be worn with plus size leggings or plus size tights underneath for a more modest look or just for extra warmth. Add a waist belt and pumps to bring out your personality.
- Shift Dress: this style dress falls straight down from the shoulders and is very minimalistic. It’s typically sleeveless but can occasionally be short sleeves or off the shoulder. Since your arms may be exposed, we recommend pairing this dress with a plus size blazer or plus size cardigan.
- Mid Length Dresses or Maxi Dresses: these dress styles are the perfect length dresses. Mid length dresses will start right at the knees and can go up to mid-calf. Maxi dresses on the other hand, are full length and fall to your ankles. Both provide great leg coverage. These dresses come in all different silhouettes, so make sure to pick one that still falls within the guidelines for church.
