Odette Plus Size Black Lace Cocktail Midi Dress

The Odette is a timeless plus size black lace cocktail dress designed around beautifully balanced proportions. A softly shaped neckline frames the décolletage, while the defined waistband draws attention to the waist before releasing into a full A-line midi skirt. Three-quarter lace sleeves add elegant arm coverage without making the silhouette feel heavy.

Why This Dress Works Beautifully on Curvy Figures

The open neckline creates space around the upper body and draws the eye toward the face and décolletage, while its gently shaped edge softens the overall look.

A wide, clean waistband gives the silhouette a clear focal point at the waist. From there, the skirt falls away from the body rather than following the abdomen and hips closely, creating an easy, balanced A-line shape with plenty of visual movement.

The fuller midi skirt also works particularly well against the fitted bodice, balancing a fuller bust while maintaining a feminine hourglass effect.

Three-quarter sheer lace sleeves provide substantial upper-arm coverage while allowing glimpses of skin through the lace, keeping the upper half visually light. The deep V-shaped back adds an elegant finishing detail without competing with the classic front.

Fabric & Feel

The dress has an all-over floral lace appearance with a softly textured finish. The sheer lace sleeves contrast beautifully with the more covered body of the dress, while the generous skirt falls in soft folds and creates graceful movement.

Scalloped lace edging at the neckline, sleeves and hem allows the lace pattern itself to form part of the dress's finish.

Fit Information

The bodice sits relatively close to the body through the bust before meeting the defined waistband. Below the waist, the skirt opens into a generous A-line shape, allowing it to fall freely over the abdomen and hips rather than sitting closely against them.

The midi length gives the fuller skirt room to create an elegant proportion, while three-quarter sleeves offer coverage through the upper arms and elbows. The back features a noticeably deeper neckline than the front.

Available Sizes

Available in sizes 12–32, with custom sizing available for the perfect fit.
