Find a look that you will love with this collection of elegant and timeless plus size black-tie event dresses. These stunning plus size black-tie formal dresses include beautiful long dresses in a variety of styles, colors, and fabrics. It can be overwhelming to know what to wear. At Sydney's Closet, we have collected helpful fashion tips to make it easy for you to pick out the perfect black-tie formal gown for your event. That way, you can be sure to R.S.V.P with confidence and in an impeccable black-tie event style.

Choose an elegant plus size black-tie dress for a special event at night or a sophisticated gown for an upscale afternoon event. When in doubt, just remember that formal evening ball gowns are always a sure bet for a special night. No other style is formal. So, if you wear a ball gown, you certainly won't risk being too under-dressed. Dress to impress with our range of plus size black-tie dresses.

A cautionary fashion note: you will want to avoid this silhouette of formal evening wear if you are short. The sheer volume of the gown's full skirt can overwhelm a petite figure. But if you're tall, the length of your body can carry a voluminous dress and make you look stunning.

Classic long plus size black-tie event formal dresses that hit the ankle or fall to the floor test the standard of time. Opting for the simplicity of a solid evening gown in a sensational fabric such as Mikado satin or taffeta shows elegance but can also include a modern flair. These formal evening dresses also give you a blank canvas to add your own fashion stamp with jewelry, hairstyle, and makeup. If you want to stand out in the crowd, consider plus size floral print dresses and keep accessories simple to focus the attention on the flowers. 

For a truly breathtaking look, shop for black-tie event dresses with details that dazzle like ruffles, feathers, sequins, crystals, rhinestones, beads, or pearls. If your long formal dress is sleeveless or one-shoulder, add a dramatic touch by wearing evening gloves that stretch to just your elbow or reach higher.

Remember, a black-tie event is your chance to dress to the nines! These special occasion formal dresses create a red carpet inspired look.
