Styles That Celebrate Your Shape

Statement Jumpsuits

A sleek jumpsuit is a modern twist on the classic dress and ideal if you want something edgy. Look for styles with belted waists or wide-leg fits to balance proportions.
Adrianna Papell’s plus-size jumpsuits offer a stylish and confidence-boosting alternative to dresses, perfect for making a bold birthday statement without compromising on comfort.


Wrap Dresses

Universally flattering and endlessly versatile, wrap dresses cinch the waist and skim the hips for a feminine, curve-loving fit. Ideal for birthday dinners and garden parties.

Bodycon Dresses

For a night out or club party, embrace your curves in a sexy plus-size birthday dress in bodycon style that hugs your figure in all the right places. Add bold heels and a clutch for instant glam.

A-line Midi Dresses

Perfect for more understated birthdays, A-line silhouettes offer grace and comfort without compromising on style. Great for family dinners or brunches with friends.

Sequin and Metallic Dresses

For full-glam birthdays, go bold with shimmering sequins or metallic fabrics. They're made for the spotlight, and your Instagram feed.

  • Accessorize Boldly: Statement earrings, metallic heels, or a pop-of-color clutch can elevate even the simplest outfit.
