In motion
See how the hem moves
Watch a ruffled off-shoulder neckline stay put as you walk, a black chiffon maxi move across the room and a navy lace midi swing out when you turn.
Shop the dressesShop by length
Start from the hem
The invitation usually decides the length before you pick a color. Short and midi read cocktail, maxi covers a garden reception, and floor length is for black tie and the evening gala.
Showers and photoshoots
Pinup Fashion dresses for the shower, the bump and the photos
A baby shower dress has to sit comfortably through two hours of gifts, and a maternity photoshoot dress has to look right from every side. You will find smocked bodices with some give, flutter sleeves, and maxi lengths for full-length pictures.
Choose by your size today, not the size you expect in a month: a smocked bodice and a stretch knit move with you, and a woven chiffon maxi does not. The same rule runs through the Pinup Fashion fit notes on every product page.
Swim, covered
Pinup Fashion swim skirts, skorts and cover-ups
Pull a terry cover-up over your suit for the walk to the pool, trade a bikini bottom for a swim skirt with a built-in brief, or add capris for the kayak. The capris carry 15 to 18 percent spandex, so the waistband holds without a drawstring.
Size and fit
Pick your size before the day
Measure your bust first
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust with a light bra on. In a fitted bodice, a wrap or a lace top, the bust decides the size more than the waist does.
Check the waist on smocked and stretch styles
A smocked bodice or a 5 percent spandex blend gives a little. A 100 percent polyester chiffon skirt with a zipper does not, so the waist measurement matters more there.
Know which size range you shop
Many Pinup Fashion styles come in two ranges: misses letter sizes and plus sizes, from 14W on the dresses. Check which range the size list on the page shows before you pick a number.
Stand up for the length
Measure from the top of your shoulder to where you want the hem, in the shoes you will wear. A maxi that grazes the floor in flats will sit right with a low heel.
Between two sizes
Go by the part of the dress that cannot stretch. If the bodice is lined chiffon, size for your bust. If the waist is elastic, size for your hips.
Order early for the event
Give yourself time for a second size to arrive before the wedding or the shower. Returns and exchanges run through checkout with our retail partner.

Pinup Fashion dresses, sorted by what you need them for
Each edit pulls the styles that answer one search from across the Pinup Fashion range, with the size run and the price range of each.
Mother of the bride dresses
A dress with its own jacket for the church, a cape-sleeve style and a sequin gown for the evening. Navy, dusty blue and champagne sit next to the black on every one.
Sequin dresses
For New Year's Eve, a gala or an evening wedding: long sequin dresses and glitter gowns, plus two short party dresses, in black, navy and gold.
Lace dresses
Lace midis and wraps with long or cape sleeves, and two lace gowns, every one cut from 14W. Black, white and navy lead the colors.
Maxi dresses
Measure shoulder to floor in your shoes first. Then choose between breezy rayon maxis for summer and chiffon or sequin gowns for the evening.
Dresses with pockets
Somewhere for your phone and your hands: T-shirt dresses and sundresses, and even a split-leg wedding guest maxi.

About us
Pinup Fashion makes the dress for the day on the calendar
Pinup Fashion started in 2019 with occasion dresses cut in plus sizes. Today you will find gowns, sundresses, maternity dresses and swim cover-ups too, most of them in plus and misses sizes.
The name borrows the pin-up's confidence, not her costume: the people behind Pinup Fashion work in modern lace, chiffon and jersey, sized to be worn to the event rather than photographed on a hanger.

Questions
Questions about Pinup Fashion
Sizes, lengths, fabrics and where to buy.
Where can you buy Pinup Fashion dresses?
Right from this site. Open any style, pick the color, and the button takes you to the checkout of our retail partner, where you choose the size, pay and arrange delivery. Returns and exchanges run through that same checkout.
Can you get Pinup Fashion dresses in plus sizes?
Yes, most of the catalog. On the dresses, plus sizes start at 14W and run to 28W, and a few cover-ups run from 12W to 30W. Many styles also come in misses letter sizes. Each product page lists every size for the color you pick, and the size guide shows the range shelf by shelf.
Which Pinup Fashion dress should you wear as a wedding guest?
Start with the invitation. For cocktail or semi-formal, look at the lace and chiffon midis on wedding guest and cocktail dresses. For black tie or an evening ceremony, go long with formal and evening gowns. Leave white and ivory to the bride.
How do you choose your size in a Pinup Fashion dress?
Measure your bust, waist and hips, then look at the fabric line on the product page. A spandex blend gives a little, so go by your usual size. A 100 percent polyester chiffon or a lined bodice does not, so if you fall between two sizes, take the larger.
Will your Pinup Fashion dress have a lining?
It depends on the style: mostly the evening gowns and a few lace dresses are lined. Lining is listed under Details on each product page, and the Lined filter on every shelf shows only those styles.
Can you find swimwear at Pinup Fashion too?
Yes: swim cover-ups in terry, mesh and chiffon, and swim skirts, skorts, capris and a rash guard set for more coverage in the water.
What you will find on each Pinup Fashion shelf
Wedding Guest & Cocktail Dresses
Lace midis with cape sleeves, chiffon wraps and high-low cocktail hems for receptions, rehearsal dinners and the office party. Most come in plus sizes, and more than half use a stretch blend.
Formal & Evening Gowns
Floor-length gowns, sequin maxis and chiffon bridesmaid dresses for black tie, prom and the mother of the bride. Several are lined, which matters under evening light.
Sundresses & Casual Dresses
Off-shoulder maxis, cold-shoulder T-shirt dresses and smocked sundresses in rayon and jersey for church, graduation and a week at the beach. A good number have pockets.
Maternity & Shower Dresses
Maxis and midis in white, blush and soft florals for the afternoon of gifts and the photo session a week later, with a style or two for a bridal shower.
Work & Church Dresses
Peplum, pencil and button-front dresses with short sleeves or bell sleeves, cut in plus sizes for the office, a funeral or a Sunday service.
Swim Cover-Ups
Terry cloth hoodies, sheer mesh long sleeves, sarongs and strapless beach dresses to pull on over a swimsuit between the water and the cafe.
Swim Skirts & Swimwear
Swim skirts and skorts with shorts or a brief built in, high-waisted swim capris and a long-sleeve rash guard set for more coverage in the water.
Every shelf opens with its dresses first and the notes underneath, on the Pinup Fashion catalog.
