Can someone come and whisk us all away to where this woman is in her pretty summer dress? I love everything she has on.

I found some super cute plus size spring and summer looks -- all at great prices.

The poolside model is wearing a Jessica London Dress with Colorblocking (from $39.99) in sizes medium to 3X. They also have it in a boysenberry and grass green color combo. This is the perfect dress to put on when it's too hot to think about what to wear.

Need some tops? Only Necessities ruffled babydoll chemise ($21.99) in sizes 14W to 40W is in an adorable print and would look great with leggings -- such a flattering shape. This Puff sleeve eyelet blouse by Denim 24/7 ($19.99-24.99) in sizes 12W to 32W works well to dress up jeans.

Need something fancy for a party, wedding, or just a night of dressing up? This Floral smocked waist dress ($19.99-24.99) in sizes 14W to 34W screams fiesta. Great dress for dancing. I also love the Cinched Flyaway dress from Avenue ($47.90) in sizes 14-28 with the peek-a-boo red down the center. Super slimming.

Wow we are all thinking the same thing. How am I suppose to know that would look good on a plus size model.

I agree with everyone else. No way are those woman plus size and I find that when they do use plus size woman they still do the whole airbrush thing. Both of the shirts, as cute as they are; would never look that good on a plus size woman. The one would make her feel like she looks pregnant and also would not fit the same way.

Hallelujah Sisters. I can't tell what i'm going to look like in that if the girl don't look like me. It might be flowing on her and looking like plastic wrap on me. I think Lane Bryant uses plus size models.

Just a thought about the plus size models -- most "regular" size models are much smaller than the women going to buy clothes. For instance, if the model is a size 0 or a 2 but I wear a 10 or a 12, the clothes are going to look very different on me than on her. Fashion stores and catalogs are there to sell clothing -- and that's by making it look nice. It makes it easier to shop online or by catalog once YOU find a style that looks good on YOU -- no matter your size.
