Even though I’m a separates girl through-and-through, dresses are a must especially when spring and summer roll into town. They’re an easy, breezy one-and-done look that’s perfect for warmer weather. Just add an accessory or two, a pair of sandals, and you’re ready to start your day.
This lightweight knit black jersey dress from Eileen Fisher can easily transition from day to evening. Wear it solo or throw a blazer on—the choices are endless. It’s a timeless style that’s perfect for work, dinner, or—just go ahead pack in your suitcase for a weekend getaway.

Accessories are the icing on the cake and take any outfit from drab to fab. Jewelry and handbags are investment pieces that last a lifetime so go ahead and splurge. This black pebbled leather handbag from Loeffler Randall and silver twist cobra bracelet from Janice Savitt make a subtle sophisticated statement.
Add a tiger print belt for a little drama and an on-trend sandal and you are ready to walk out the door armed with confidence.

Good morning Beth!
I love this dress…I’m a pushover for easy knit dresses, and black is my go-to for much of my wardrobe.
Have a question, though. How would you belt a dress like this if your tummy isn’t what it should be?
Between the fabled memo-pot and the 8 pounds I gained during Covid ( it’s coming off, slowly but surely), I have a lot of weight in my midsection.
Should I just avoid a belt and let a dress like this hang? If I belt it, does the belt go around the largest part of my tummy, or below/above it?
I’ve paired a similar dress with a blazer, and it looked chic. But, sometimes I don’t want to wear a jacket.
Help!!!!
i just watched a television show Sweet Magnolias where one of the leads is plus size with an apple shape. she belted her dress at the waist and looked adorable. i’ve also seen women belt their dresses a bit higher near their bra line. but this might look foreign to you so give yourself some time to ease into the look. we’ve been trained for so long to hide our figure flaws and to look slim at all costs especially when it comes to our tummies.
Ok, thank you. I will give this a try….but also going to try to whittle that waist a bit! 🤣🤣🤣
I have that Eileen Fisher black jersey dress and love it!
Thanks for today’s post.
such a cute and comfy dress!
I really like that dress on you. And as you, I wear separates mostly, but this tempts me for its style and versatility! What size are you wearing in it, Beth?
i have a small. with Eileen Fisher you need to size down.

Hi Beth. This post inspired me to buy a similar ponte knit fit and flair dress for our approaching Autumn. I will be styling it with a pair of plum suede ballet flats.
