Plus Size Black Sequin Dress with Sleeves

This plus size black sequin dress with sleeves sets silver sequin and bead embroidery on a black base, so it reads cool and formal rather than party-bright. Short sheer petal sleeves sit over the upper arm and fringe swings at mid-calf. It is our dress for evenings that start formally: a black-tie wedding, the theater, a work gala.

Styling a Black and Silver Sequin Dress for Evening

The silver sequins ask for cool companions. We wear it with silver-tone drop earrings, a crystal headband and a black satin clutch; a long faux pearl rope works too if you knot it low. Sheer black tights with black pumps or T-straps keep the line long. For New Year's Eve, add a black feather boa and let the sequins handle the rest. More beaded styles fill our sequin flapper dresses.

Fit Notes for the Plus Size Black Dress

At the top of the range, the XXXL measures 45 in (114 cm) at the bust, 40 in (102 cm) at the waist and 46.5 in (118 cm) at the hip, near a US 16 to 18, and falls about 47.5 in (121 cm) long. Choose by your largest measurement.

Black Sequin Dress FAQ

Can I wear it as a guest at a black-tie wedding?

Yes. Black and silver sits well among formal guests, and the mid-calf length feels right for a ceremony. Skip white accessories so you stay clear of the bride.

How should I care for the sequins?

We recommend spot cleaning or a cool hand wash inside out, then drying flat. Never wring the fringe.

Do the sleeves hide bra straps?

They cover the top of the shoulder, so most straps stay out of view. The fabric is sheer, though, so a black bra is the safest match.
