Meet Mireille, a plus size black evening dress that brings sharp tuxedo-inspired tailoring together with the glamour of a sparkling mermaid skirt.
The crossover V neckline and lapel collar create a beautifully defined upper silhouette, while the waistband draws the eye to the waist. Below, the sequin skirt follows the figure before gradually flaring towards the floor, creating an elegant mermaid shape with striking evening presence.
Why This Dress Works Beautifully on Curvy Figures
Mireille uses contrast and proportion to create a beautifully balanced curvy silhouette.
The tuxedo-inspired lapels frame the V neckline and create strong diagonal lines through the upper body, visually lengthening the torso while drawing attention towards the face and décolletage.
A defined waistband provides a clear transition between the streamlined bodice and sparkling skirt. Rather than adding volume at the waist, the skirt follows the natural line of the hips before opening gradually into its mermaid hem.
Three-quarter sleeves provide polished arm coverage, while the fuller lower skirt balances the shoulders and hips. The result is glamorous and feminine without relying on excessive embellishment across the entire dress.

Fabric & Feel
Mireille combines two contrasting black finishes for a sophisticated tonal effect.
The bodice has a smooth, softly lustrous appearance that allows the tuxedo-inspired tailoring to remain defined, while the skirt is covered in shimmering black sequins.
Keeping the sparkle concentrated through the skirt creates drama and movement without visually overwhelming the entire silhouette.
