Whoever said we can’t wear black in the summer is gonna be mad because today I’m talking about plus size black summer dresses. I recently got this black summer dress and I’m obsessed!
Embroidered eyelet detailed things make me feel some type of way. I immediately think about being back in the Virgin Islands. It’s an island style classic that’s right up there with anything made in linen. The church ladies in the islands love them some linen and eyelet fashions the most. Thankfully we have eyelet fashions for fashionistas of all ages and sizes.
Where’d you get it?
The dress is sold out in black in plus sizes, but it’s still available in white!
It’s also available up to an XXL which is the size I’m wearing here.
In my Plus Size Poshmark Summer Style Haul post I mentioned that I’ve been consciously shopping for pieces that work for now and later. Even though it’s so summery, it still will work right into fall because I’m in Florida. A cute jacket and sneaks or a blazer and boot combo can help this dress easily fit the fall vibe too. I use to weary of the no black in summer rule, but there are so many ways to hack it.
