Premium Fabric & Construction

Sizing & Fit Guide

Our Jessica Howard plus size dress is designed with real women’s bodies in mind, featuring a relaxed fit through the bodice and hips. The shift silhouette skims the body without clinging, creating a flattering line that works for various body types.

Size Range & Measurements

Available in sizes 14W through 24W, each size is carefully graded to maintain proper proportions. The three-quarter sleeves hit at the perfect point on the forearm, while the knee-length hemline creates an elegant, professional appearance. We recommend ordering your usual dress size for the intended relaxed fit.

Styling & Versatility

This versatile shift dress serves as the foundation for countless outfit combinations. Pair it with blazers for professional settings, or dress it up with statement jewelry for evening events. The classic design complements both our lace sheath dress collection and formal ball gown options.

The modest neckline and sleeve length make this dress appropriate for conservative dress codes, while the contemporary cut keeps your look fresh and modern. Layer with cardigans in cooler weather or wear alone when temperatures rise.

Care Instructions

Maintaining your Jessica Howard shift dress is simple with proper care. Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the fabric’s stretch and color. Use mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners that can break down the ponte material.

Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry for best results. The ponte fabric naturally resists wrinkles, but a quick steam or low-iron touch-up will restore the crisp appearance. Store hanging to maintain the dress’s shape between wears.
