Dress Sneakers with Navy Suits The combination of well-stitched crisp suit with a well-polished dress sneaker never fails to amaze

(If you're afraid of it selling out but want a similar vibe, Nasty Gal also has this strappy black mini dress in Large and XL, or this black bodycon dress that's got both feathers and lace a win-win!) PrettyLittleThing Devore Plus-Size Wide-Leg Jumpsuit OK, we know, this devore-patterned pick from PLT isn't technically a dress, but we are trying to make jumpsuits happen

Perfect for formal outdoor or destination beach weddings, high-end garden parties, upscale cocktail receptions, or sophisticated daytime galas
