Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
Eloquii is one of my favorite places for well-priced basics for plus sizes. If I were starting a new work wardrobe on a budget, this ponte dress would be one of my first picks. The long sleeves make it totally acceptable for wearing on its own — or add a blazer or sweater to mix things up a bit.
As an added bonus, it’s machine washable, so you can wash and wear it once a week while you build up your collection of work-appropriate outfits.
I would recommend the black as the most versatile of the bunch, but if it’s not your thing, the dress also comes in “carafe” (a coffee brown) and “grape shake” (pinky-purple).
The dress is on sale for $59.97 (originally $99.95) at Eloquii and comes in sizes 14–28.
Here’s an option in straight sizes from Karen Kane: $41.40 on sale at Bloomingdale’s and $82.80 at Dillard’s (different lucky sizes at each store).
