Little Black Dresses in 2 sizes

Every woman needs at least one little black dress (LBD) in her closet as an easy go-to dress for a variety of occasions. Where have we worn our LBDs this year? Weddings, anniversaries, funerals, date nights, girls nights...the list goes on.  That being said, we are always on the look out for a great LBD that will flatter a variety of shapes and sizes.  We hit the Walden Galleria to check out a couple of LBDs that will fit and flatter a variety of sizes.

This dress we both tried on at Banana Republic. It is a simple sheath dress with a cross front hem. It was a nice heavy fabric with some stretch in it. The positives to this dress is that it hugs your curves in all the right places, and the fabric is thick enough that  it won't show all the lumps and bumps.  Alexis is rocking out the size 12, and I (Amanda) have on a size 6. This one was my favorite. You can shop for this dress here.

This dress (a favorite for Alexis) is from New York and Company. We saw A LOT of women trying on this super easy to wear, super comfortable, and most importantly, super flattering dress. It is a simple fit and flare dress. This dress also comes in a burgundy and cobalt blue color. We loved that the entire dress has a lot of stretch in it to accommodate and variety of sizes. Alexis is in a Large and I have on a Small. You can shop for this dress here.

 At Lord & Taylor we tried on this Calvin Klein sheath dress with cap sleeve.  Alexis is a huge fan of Calvin Klein dresses. They fit well, are lined, and look good on just about anyone. Of all three dresses, I liked the length of this one the best. It hits at the most flattering spot-right at the knee. The banana dress was a bit longer, and the NY&C dress was a little shorter. I have on a 6 and Alexis has on a 12. Curvy or slight, these dresses all fit and flattered our different body types. You can shop for this dress here.
