"One is never overdressed or underdressed in a little black dress."

- KARL LAGERFELD

Showing good black dresses for women in Australia and New Zealand, an over 40, size 10 woman wears a black maxi length wrap dress with flutter sleeves. Made in Australia by women's dress brand, Leina & Fleur, this black cocktail dress is a great dress for curvy, mid size and petite women's evening wear and occasionwear.

Little Black Dress Style: The Coco-Loco

A pioneer of female style, Coco Chanel was first credited with creating the little black dress. Chic yet simple, Chanel’s black dresses made style accessible to all women and, as champions of size inclusive fashion, that’s
exactly the spirit of an L&F little black dress too!

The ultimate cocktail dress, the Alita Dress wraps the body in grace and elegance. A functioning wrap dress, her waist ties work to define the silhouette while side-front pleats create flattering drape through the skirt.

Alita's dipped ruffle hemline creates a fishtail effect, reminiscent of red carpet glamour. Balancing the hourglass illusion, flutter sleeves empower the shoulders with tucks at the neckline carving out a feminine sweetheart neckline.

Wearing a black fixed wrap dress with midi length hemline styled with a lilac longline blazer in eco-conscious Tencel fabric, a size 10, over 40 woman shows how versatile black dresses wear for every day, casual and weekend style. Both made in Australia by women's clothing brand Leina & Fleur, shop both women's dresses and jackets online in sizes 8 to 24.
