Westley Dress - Black

Women's Plus Size Westley Dress - Black

The Westley Dress is a  midi or maxi dress (depending on height) designed with a minimalist aesthetic. It features a flattering shallow V-neckline and a relaxed, A-line drape that flows elegantly from the shoulders. The standout feature is the flutter-style sleeve, which provides generous room and a soft, feminine movement. The perfect little black dress

Detailed Specifications
Fabric Composition: A high-quality blend of 64% Rayon, 28% Nylon, and 8% Spandex. This mix ensures the breathability of rayon, the durability and "frock" hold of nylon, and the essential stretch-and-recovery of spandex.
Sleeve Length: 24cm. This length offers excellent upper-arm coverage, hitting just above the elbow for most, while the wide opening ensures no restriction.
Garment Length: 125cm. This provides a substantial, sweeping length that elongates the frame.
SKU - LL260211

Why You Will Love It
Effortless Elegance: It’s a "one-and-done" outfit. You can throw it on and instantly look put-together without needing complex styling.
Tactile Comfort: The high rayon content means it feels cool against the skin, making it perfect for year-round wear or layering.
Travel-Friendly: The nylon/spandex blend helps the fabric resist heavy wrinkling, making it an ideal piece for packing in a suitcase.

Best Body Shape for This Style
While this dress is universally flattering, it specifically shines on:
Apple Shapes: The generous cut through the midsection provides comfort without clinging to the tummy.
Inverted Triangle Shapes: The V-neck breaks up the chest area, and the A-line hem adds volume to the lower half to balance broader shoulders.
Tall Frames: At 125cm, this dress celebrates height and creates a long, lean vertical line.

Why It Works for Curvy Figures
The V-Neckline: Draws the eye inward and upward, elongating the neck and creating a balanced focal point.
Zero Cling: The fabric weight and A-line cut allow the dress to skim over the hips and thighs rather than hugging them.
The Flutter Sleeve: Provides "airiness." Unlike tight jersey sleeves that can pinch, these allow for total range of motion and a breezy feel.

Mix and Match Items
To get the most out of the Westley Dress, try these pairings:
1. Define the Waist: Add a wide elasticated waist belt or a metallic chain belt to transform the shift silhouette into an hourglass shape.
2. Layering: Transition into cooler weather by placing a cropped denim jacket or a structured leather moto jacket over the top.
3. The Professional Look: Pair with a longline sleeveless vest (gilet) for a high-end, corporate ensemble.

Colour Pairings
Since this dress is a "True Black," it acts as the perfect canvas for:
Bold Contrast: Pair with Emerald Green, Royal Blue, or Magenta (in the form of a scarf or statement bag) for a high-impact look.
Earth Tones: Use Tan, Terracotta, or Olive for a sophisticated, safari-inspired summer vibe.
Metallics: Gold or Rose Gold jewellery and footwear turn this dress into an elegant evening option.
Monochrome: Add a white blazer and white sneakers for a crisp, modern "street style" aesthetic.
