The little black dress has been a staple in our closet for decades, and it’s no surprise why! It’s chic, timeless, and versatile enough to wear to any occasion. However, finding the perfect plus-size little black dress<\/a> can be challenging. It’s no secret that plus-size clothing options can be minimal, but you don’t have to worry about that at Dia & Co. We\u2019ve got hundreds of plus-size LBDs for every occasion<\/a>. The key thing to remember when searching for the little black dress of your dreams is that comfort is queen! Wearing something you constantly have to readjust is such a confidence blow\u2014it\u2019s not worth it. So, in this guide, we’ll give you tips and tricks on how to find the perfect little black dress to accentuate your curvy figure and makes you feel fabulous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accentuate Your Shape <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Knowing your body shape will help you choose a dress that accentuates your figure.\u00a0 From apples to pears, hourglasses, and rectangles, there are tips and tricks to finding the perfect fit for each shape.\u00a0 If you’re unsure about where you fall on the spectrum, take some time to measure yourself. ( Check out our simple step-by-step guide for instructions on how to measure yourself while shopping online<\/a>.)\u00a0 Fashion rules dictate that A-line dresses<\/a> work for apple shapes because they begging to flare out at the widest part of the body, while curve-hugging dresses <\/a>are better on hourglass figures. Shift dresses look amazing on rectangular shapes because of their streamlined waist-to-hip ratio, while fit-and-flare dresses <\/a>typically work better for pear shapes. But honestly, who says you have to follow these rules? Another great way to tailor your selection to your figure is to pick a dress based on the attribute you most like to feature. For example, if cleavage is your claim to fame, selecting a style with a plunging neckline might be your best option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find Your Desired Fit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s essential to find a dress that fits you correctly if you want to be comfortable. Avoid buying too tight or loose dresses, as they can make you feel miserable and affect your confidence. Readjusting your little black dress all night is not what you got all dressed up to do!\u00a0 Look for a dress that hugs your figure but still allows you to move freely. If you prefer a looser fit, choose a dress with a defined waistline or an empire cut, this will also accentuate your bust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose Fabric That Works for Your Style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The right fabric can do wonders when it comes to how a dress looks and feels on your body. Choose a fabric that drapes smoothly over your curves and moves with you. Choose fabrics that hug your figure gently if you are going for a bodycon look. Avoid overly clingy or too thick fabrics, as they can be ill-fitting. Consider fabrics like jersey, satin, or crepe, as they have a nice drape and are easy to care for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider Plus-Size Little Black Dresses with Sleeves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sleeves can be a game-changer in finding the right little black dress for you. If you’re self-conscious about showing your arms or want extra coverage during colder months, look for dresses with elbow sleeves. Three-quarter-length sleeves are also an excellent option if you want a more conservative look. If you prefer sleeveless dresses, consider layering them with a cardigan or a jacket to add some coverage. You can also layer beneath sleeveless dresses with sheer tops\u2014very on-trend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweat the Details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The little details can make a significant difference in finding your dream little black dress. Consider dresses that have details that draw the eye upward, such as ruffles, pleats, or embellishments around the neckline or the shoulders. These details create a focal point that shifts attention from your curves to your upper body. Don’t forget to accessorize with a statement necklace or earrings to complete the look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
