Little Black Dress (Plus Size)

July 19, 2012

Everyone needs a ‘Little Black Dress’ (LBD) no matter what size, shape, color, or whatever you are. It’s a basic that can be translated into so many different variations. Here are a few great vintage plus size ‘Little Black Dresses’ I have found and added to The Curvy Elle Shop.

This Side Button Sleeveless Sheath Dress (Size 18) is a1960’s original, made to be worn on a curvy body. It is Mad Men ready, for sure!

Velvet is so elegant when used right and this dress is no different. This Velvet Sheath Sleeveless Back Slit Dress (Size 22) is a longer length that can be accessorized in so many ways! The back slit is a nice, classy way to hint at sexy! This dress proves less is more.

This Short Sleeved Button Front Swing Dress (Size 18) is what I would call the “Fun Details Dress.” It features front black self fabric covered buttons with one contrasting pearl/brass button at top. In the back is has a corset type tie that lets you make the dress as fitted or loose as you wish–depending on how you tie it, the dress can look completely different!

Clueless Called…

They want their wardrobe back! (I may be dating myself with this reference.)

The first time I saw this skirt, I fell in love with it. You rarely see cool plus size vintage items like this! Clueless kept whispering in my ear, so I (of course) had to add the knee socks–but I gave it a Laurel-esque twist by adding the Pee Wee Herman t-shirt and loafers.

(Am I dating myself again with the Pee Wee reference? Hopefully Pee Wee is timeless… At least I think so!)

And a Pee Wee Herman/Clueless post would not be complete without a little Tequila!
