Oversized dresses to consider on Myntra.
These selections have been curated from Myntra with attention to comfort and regular wear. The aim is to offer a general mix that feels easy to browse and easy to imagine in real life.
An oversized dress lives or fails at the shoulder drop and waist. If the fabric is too soft, the sleeves balloon without control and the body looks. If it is too stiff, the dress looks boxed and the volume feels heavy. Viscose-heavy blends drape more fluidly, so the silhouette moves with the body. Cotton holds the shape tighter, so the volume stays more deliberate. That tension runs through all five.
The trade-off is structure versus ease. Viscose blends give softness, airflow, and a smoother vertical line, but they can stretch or sag if the wash is rough. Cotton breathes better and feels more natural, though it relaxes faster and can lose some crispness by the end of the day. In an oversized silhouette, that difference shows immediately at the sleeve, hem, and waist.
Viscose Drape and Detail
The Ritu Kumar and H&M dresses both use viscose, but they are not doing the same thing. Ritu Kumar is mustard yellow and green solid, A-line, round neck, long flared sleeves, embroidered detail, ruffled and pleated hem, midi length, viscose crepe. The flared sleeve and pleated hem add volume at both ends, so the embroidered detail keeps the midsection from looking too plain. The viscose crepe should feel softer and more fluid than cotton, with a slightly textured surface that hides movement well.
The first H&M oversized tunic is more architectural. V-neckline with spaghetti ties at the top, long voluminous balloon sleeves, elasticated cuffs, saddle shoulders with gathers, spaghetti ties at the waist, curved gathered seam over the hips, unlined, 80% viscose and 20% polyester, maxi length. The gathers and ties are doing the real work. They control the volume at the waist and hips so the dress does not look too loose. The viscose-polyester blend should feel lighter and more fluid than cotton, while the polyester adds a bit of stability.

Balloon Sleeves and Belted Shape
The second H&M oversized tie-belt dress is closer to the first H&M in silhouette but more compact. Calf-length, oversized, viscose-blend weave (75% viscose, 25% polyamide), scoop neckline with V-shaped opening, button placket with pearly buttons, elbow-length balloon sleeves, elasticated cuffs, coated tie belt with beads. The belt is the key control point. It pulls the torso inward and highlights the waist, so the balloon sleeves and flared hem do not look too full. The viscose-polyamide blend should feel softer and more fluid than cotton, with the polyamide adding a bit of strength.
Both H&M dresses should feel more relaxed and easier to wear than the Ritu Kumar option, but with more structure than the cotton SASSAFRAS pieces.
Cotton Hold and Simplicity
The SASSAFRAS BASICS shirt collar cotton midi and the solid t-shirt midi are the most straightforward pieces. The shirt collar version is olive green solid, A-line, shirt collar, short regular sleeves, midi length, straight hem, knitted cotton, button closure. The cotton fabric should feel more breathable and natural than viscose, but it will relax faster and lose some crispness by the end of the day. The shirt collar keeps the top more formal, while the A-line and straight hem keep the silhouette controlled.
The t-shirt midi is the most casual. Red solid, T-shirt dress, round neck, short regular sleeves, midi length, straight hem, cotton fabric. The knitted cotton should feel soft and comfortable, but it will relax faster than woven fabric. The round neck and short sleeves make it the least formal of the group.
