The trend was introduced by Coco Chanel decades ago and made iconic by Audrey Hepburn in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s in 1961. Before this, black was only worn for mourning and not a color typically found in women’s wardrobes. 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. To be as precise as possible, our testers measured themselves, and we ordered sizes based on each retailer’s bust-waist-hip measurement charts—which also weren’t always exact. We recommend that you do the same, and if you’re still unsure, order two sizes and keep the one that fits the best.
The Naadam’s knit is also tight and durable, so it’s less likely than looser knits to snag or stretch out with wear. What you'll wear to a wedding is largely decided by the dress code, but, generally speaking, a little black dress is appropriate to wear to most weddings. Channel your playful side with this little black mini dress. We love how the mock neck silhouette and tie closure highlight the shoulders and draw attention to the beautiful open back.

Our panelists with larger hips liked how forgiving the dress was in the waist and hips, but they found the bust a tad too large . Sizes range from 00 to 24 in the regular cut, which we tested, and this dress also comes in petite and tall. We recommend trying it on in the store, if you can, or ordering a handful of sizes to find a perfect fit. We loved the Rita’s thick, flattering material, which didn’t stretch out, even after being worn for several hours at a desk. The viscose-poly knit is structured, and the stitching is durable, but it doesn’t add bulk to the seams (something we noticed with some other form-fitting dresses we wore). Simple yet elegant, BHLDN's crepe mini dress was designed with the minimalist in mind.
Our testers said this little black dress reminded them of a bathrobe. This velvety, 100% silk number is the nicest, most luxurious silk dress we found. It’s made with thick fabric, and the French seams ensure the hem won’t fray over time. And the cuffed sleeves feature two buttons that allow the wearer to adjust the size to their wrist. 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 Résumé is of a higher quality than many of the other business-casual dresses we wore. We liked its strong, even stitching and reinforced waist, which doesn’t feel like it will stretch with wear. This dress also has a polyester lining, which we think will aid its longevity and prevent deodorant marks from showing through the fabric (as we’ve seen happen on dresses that don’t have linings). Nearly a quarter of the dresses we tested weren’t lined at all. The Résumé is made of a wool-elastane blend that was soft and more comfortable than some other wool dresses we tried, such as the scratchier COS Knitted A-Line Merino Wool Dress. And the fabric has just the right amount of give, so it’ll still fit if you gain a few pounds.

I also compared our 14 finalists against the US Department of Labor’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs’s List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor database. None of the finalists were made in the countries that appear on the DOL’s list (however, since half of our finalists are made of synthetic materials, they’re not applicable to that list). And we couldn’t independently confirm where most of these brands source their fabrics because they either don’t publicize that information or gave us vague responses when asked.
Pair it with heels or boots when you want to feel dressy, or dress it down with an outstanding pair of crisp white sneakers when you’ve got errands to run. Women’s black dresses are a wardrobe wonder because of just how many ways you can wear ‘em. Mentioned earning based on new enrollments into the Lane Rewards program.
