Does your dream spring day include surrounding yourself with the scent of blooming wildflowers or freshly-cut grass, enjoying fresh-baked chocolate croissants with perfectly ripe strawberries, and then falling asleep on a plush quilt under a tree gently swaying in the breeze? If this describes your perfect day, then you probably love cottagecore style. Light cotton dresses, long flowy skirts, and puffy sleeves are what make the cottagecore aesthetic my favorite spring fashion style to wear. But it can be difficult to find quality cottage pieces in plus sizes. These online shops are the best places to browse and shop for cute cottage dresses for your next dreamy picnic.
Selkie
I have been obsessively collecting Selkie dresses for years, and for good reason! This brand is one of the most size-inclusive places to find stunning cottagecore gowns and dresses. Their sizes range from XXS to 5X (US 2 to 22). These dresses are priced high, but the unique patterns and styles are second to none. Sizes tend to sell out fast, so this is one of those brands that you must follow on Instagram or get on their mailing list in order to not miss out on a new collection.
Ivy City Co
Ivy City Co is my go-to brand for beautiful and easy-to-wear cottagecore dresses. This is the most size-inclusive brand I have found with adult women’s sizes ranging from XXS to 5X, and the same styles available in baby, toddler, and children’s sizes! For all the moms that love cottagecore, bohemian, or feminine style dresses, Ivy City Co is the best place to find stylish modern mommy and me dresses for you and all of your girls! This woman-owned brand has beautiful and moderately priced dresses for everyone.
Hill House
The Hill House nap dress is the most comfortable cotton dress that I own! This brand has a cult following with new releases often selling out instantly. They produce limited styles in small collections, so you have to follow their updates and be ready to shop as soon as a collection drops if you want to get your hands on the latest pattern. Hill House’s sizing ranges from XXS to 2XL which unfortunately excludes many plus-size people. However, some styles, like the nap dress, do run slightly large and have a lot of give due to the elastic smocking.
Cider
If you’re just beginning to explore cottagecore fashion, Cider is the best place to find trendy cottagecore-inspired pieces at a very affordable price. All items in the plus-size section are under $50. Cider’s curvy and plus line is limited to sizes 1XL through 4XL (US 14 to 20). However, it is an option if you fall between that size range and are shopping on a budget. This is a fast-fashion brand, which is something to consider while shopping mindfully.
Arula
Arula is a good place to shop for casual cottagecore-inspired tops and dresses. This is a great brand to shop for day-to-day cottage and boho clothing for mid and plus-size. They have their own unique sizing system that covers sizes 10 to 24. Arula is the perfect place to shop if you find yourself in between mid and plus size.
