Dress Party: The Best Spring Dresses for Women over 50
FOR EVERYDAY WEAR:
We all need a little dress for everyday - mostly for those days when we proclaim that despite having a closet full of clothes, we simply have nothing to wear! This comfortable, stretch maxi dress is just that style. This casual dress is the epitome of throw-on-and-go chic!
FOR THOSE WHO APPRECIATE THE UNEXPECTED:
One of our favorite things as buyers to seek out when shopping for the Anthony's woman are fashions with a little something extra or unexpected. This Creation dress features a lace open back detail and a little glitz and glam making it a piece of cake to dress up or down for every event on your spring calendar.
FOR THOSE SEASIDE TRAVELS:
FOR THOSE WHO LOVE FEMININE STYLE:
The gorgeous embroidery on the breezy, yet feminine Lola P dress transports us to the gardens of Southern France. This romantic style is easy to throw on and go with a classic white sandal, but could also easily be dressed up for a garden-party wedding with a nude heel.
FOR EVERY OCCASION AND EVERY WOMAN:
This classic stripe dress is our all-occasion favorite. From the seersucker summer-inspired stripes to the beautiful lace overlay to the classic shift styling, this dress is a must for your summer dress wardrobe.
FOR A LITTLE EXTRA ARM COVERAGE:
Definitely stick to the 3/4 sleeve dresses if you prefer a little extra arm coverage. You can't go wrong in a bright fun print for any of your upcoming spring and summer events. Our favorite thing about all of the 3/4 sleeve dresses shown below - they all have UPF 50 sun protection to go that extra mile. Plus, they couldn't be more travel friendly or pack-able if they tried. Book that summer getaway and throw one of these dresses in your suitcase!
FOR THE PERFECTLY PUT TOGETHER WOMAN:
This dress has everything for the chic, put-together woman. This classic shift style by London Times continues to be a regular here at Anthony's. We just can't help picking up new prints in this same easy - chic style.
FOR THAT SPECIAL OCCASION:

I love your store and can always find something to purchase but have never gotten a dress. Please start carrying petite dresses. I am 5’ tall and short waisted so regular sized dresses just don’t fit.

I too would like to see longer dresses. Shorts and pants with pockets are important also.

I love the dresses at Anthony’s, however, being a petite 5’ tall, the dresses are too big and too long. I would shop Anthony’s exclusively if petite sized dresses were available.

Fell in LOVE with Anthony’s Jupiter location this past winter. Picked up MANY wonderful pieces. I am 5’ and a bit short waisted so I only wear shift/A-line styles and was delighted with the Anthony’s brand. So pleased the length was perfect for me right off the rack! I had not bought a dress in many years, only slacks, capris, jeans, palazzos, etc., bought 5 dresses and I’ll be back next year. Thank you!!!

Wish you would carry more dresses with elbow sleeves and at least to just below the knee and in petite sizes.

I agree with the other women, the dresses should go to the knee 36” are too short,
Also would like some dresses with short sleeves.

I second and third the previous comments about length. I don’t want a maxi or mid calf. I love the shift or sheath silhouette with just a little longer length, to the knee. Further complicated that I am tall (over 5’8”). But at my age I need a dress that goes to the knee!!!

In days gone by I looked like your models, but that time has looong past…so now I look for dresses/tops that do not mold to one’s body or stretchy fabric, which accentuates the negative. Living in Florida, I find nothing more comfortable and cooler than a light cotton material. Short sleeves rather than long or ¾ is perfect! Still like above the knee length and free flowing is a must!!!

I agree with the previous comments. I often buy hem facing to lengthen dresses. If not longer dresses, ps leave a lot more hem to lengthen.

Agree. Love your dresses but few mature women want to wear a SHORT dress.

I am a big fan on Anthony’s clothing – great colors, designs and quality. I agree with those who said women want a longer than above the knee length – at we age there is nothing attractive about our knees!

I love quite a few of the dress styles butI would prefer that they arrive to the knee or just barely above. All of these shown styles are too short for me now that I have reached 60.
Thanks!

A nice variety of shrugs would also be helpful to cover up our upper arm with all those beautiful sleeveless tops and dresses.

Most women my age and older do not like dresses above the knee or sleeveless or clothing that has horizontal lines that makes us look larger. Would like more simple stylish print and or floridian with virtical strips. Please and thank you

A lot of women over 50 do not have the toned arms and prefer to wear dresses with sleeves. Also dresses that are knee length. I wish you would offer more of those types of dresses.
