For the initial round of testing, I measured my bust, waist, and hips and ordered each dress in my size according to the retailer’s sizing charts. I typically wear a women’s dress size 8 or M, but in the often-inconsistent world of women’s clothing sizes, retailers’ sizing charts put me anywhere from a 2XS to an XL. I wore each dress for an hour and paid attention to the quality, style, fit, and comfort. Then I took a picture of myself in each dress to compare the style and fit side by side.

Tribal prints and fringe accents are a great way to show off your bohemian style. Pair a metallic drape front cardigan with your favorite petite little black dress for an outfit that’s sure to sparkle on date night. You found the ultimate one-stop shop for stylish men’s and women’s clothing from top fashion brands around the globe.

Meanwhile, the designers we considered that specialize in plus-size options offered dresses only in bright colors or patterns during our testing window. We hope to offer more little black dress picks for plus-size people, as well as more spring and summer options, when we update this guide. In the meantime, our fashion experts said 11 Honoré, Eloquii, and Veronica Beard are a few of the retailers offering chic and well-made plus-size dresses. Then I selected the 14 contenders that ranked the highest to send to a panel.

The body of the dress is closed with 10 buttons that are securely attached, so you’re unlikely to lose one. This buttery silk shirtdress is one of the most versatile styles we found—the casual cut reads low-key, but the luxurious material means it can also easily be dressed up. The slim fit looks best on people with straight figures; it’s not great for those with ample hips. A versatile piece that can be shown off with bare legs now, and thick pantyhose and a leather jacket on colder days, this softly knit mini dress ticks endless styling boxes. Chunky crystal embellishments sparkle at each shoulder and sleeve, adding a glamorous twist to the simple round-necked silhouette. I also had a panel of four people with different body types wear our dress contenders to help determine which styles have the best shot at becoming staple pieces in your closet.

There’s something about a brand new outfit that’s hard to resist! The perfect dress can make you look and feel your best, no matter the occasion. From New Year’s Eve to prom night, we’ve got you covered! At Target you can choose from a wide collection of dresses with your perfect mix of comfort and style.

Pay close attention when you order—by the company’s size chart, our size-2 tester is a 3XS, and our size-14 tester is a S. Most other dresses we tested come in just about a dozen sizes, usually ranging from 00 to 12 or 0 to 14. This thick ribbed dress is comfy and great at smoothing out any lumps, while accentuating your favorite body parts.

And it comes in the broadest range of sizes of our picks. Universal Standard uses a unique sizing scale so check the measurements carefully. We thought the ASOS Design Tall Soft Denim Tea Dress was also too juvenile, and the fit wasn’t true to size.

The little black dress is a wardrobe piece that will outlive any fashion trend, and we think it's worth investing in a high-quality piece that will last for years. Even if you’re stuck inside due to social-distancing mandates, there’s nothing stopping you from rocking an LBD at home when you want to take a break from sweatpants. This will come as no surprise to anyone who wears women’s clothing, but during testing there was no consistency in sizing across labels. For example, I typically wear a dress size 8 or M, and I found myself wearing everything from a 2XS to an XL.
