I used to think that Theory made the best sleeveless sheath dresses, but after I bought this dress in turquoise a few years ago, Nicole Miller deserves the accolade. It’s made of thick stretchy linen-viscose-spandex that drapes against the body without too much cling. The front and back tuck and ruching details make it more interesting, and forgiving, than a plain sheath. A great length! Can easily be dressed up or down with the right support act.

An easy breezy pull-on-and-go frock that’s perfect for warm weather. It’s an above the knee dress unless you are very petite. It’s supposed to be sack-like so you might need to size up to ensure sufficient roominess. This style of unstructured frock looks best a little shorter, so bare those knees with pride to give the silhouette its structure. Sleeved and Pucci-esque.

I recently purchased this long sleeve crewneck tee dress in the Bottle Bottoms print, and am very pleased with it. It’s an easy pull-on–and-go ruched sheath that hugs your curves but is not overly tight. Hits at the knee. Sassy and fun in the large check print. Perfect under roomy fashion forward toppers, and just as fab worn on its own. Also available in red and black.

Sleeved dresses with a nice bit of length are still hard to find, and this is a good one. It’s 38 inches long and provides great cleavage coverage. Ideal for curvier ladies who can fill out the silhouette and/or those with a broad shoulder line. Great on shorter necks too. Body skimming but not extra tight and quite forgiving. They run true to size or slightly smaller. Also available in Extra Large Check, Green Abstract Brushstroke, Bottle Bottoms, Grey Parched Alligator, Black Mesh Print and Solid Black.

A fully lined shift dress that is elegant, modern and sassy. The notched neckline works well on a larger bust. The satin piping on the neckline and flared lace cuffs on the elbow length sleeves add ladylike textural interest. Dress it up with a fab pair of sandals or pumps, cuff bracelet and striking clutch. Or wear it with a denim jacket or bomber, oxfords or booties and a colourful crossbody bag for a weekend outing or a spot of shopping.

Tadashi Shoji makes stunning evening wear and this elegant maxi skirt is no exception! Angled, overlapping tiers add volume and flair to this slim style taffeta skirt. It’s an eye-catching piece that can be matched with a tucked shirt, blouse, cropped pullover, dressy jacket or moto. Add a little bling and heels and you are done. Runs true to size.

A KILLER lace frock with an edgy exposed full-length two-way back zipper. This interesting detail gives this ladylike, romantic frock a decidedly modern feel. The 3/4 length sleeves provide alluring coverage, and both the mulberry and navy are a little unexpected but divine colour options. A versatile dress that could function as your go-to “little black dress”.

Very on trend high-low dress that is wonderfully flattering on both regular and plus sizes. Great midi silhouette and a fun artful print that can be dressed up or down. Fab with a dainty flat sandal.

As I write the plus-size version is on sale for $93.90.

Grecian, gorgeous, flirty and fab for on a hot day. No plunging necklines or overly bare arms. Dress it up or down. Add a belt, denim jacket and sandals and you are good to go.

This is the most perfect little black dress for plus sizes with a full bust. Insanely good draping and coverage. No special bra or spanx required. Might not work for petites. Runs true to size.

As I write this the dress is on sale for $91.90.
