Basic Black Dress

Wear a basic black dress all year round.

When you need to look good and you need to look good fast, I definitely recommend a black dress. As jaded as some are about the "LBD," it's a weapon that every woman needs to have in her plus-sized arsenal.

Who It Suits: If this dress fits perfectly, busty women can enjoy it. Employ a little Hollywood Tape to keep everything in its place, and consider a strapless full-length camisole to wear underneath. Pear-shaped women can also show off their assets in a form-fitting dress such as this one.
