There’s something truly magical about dressing up for a special occasion. Whether it’s a birthday bash, a festive family get-together or a glamorous evening event, the chance to celebrate with loved ones deserves an outfit that makes you feel fabulous - whatever your size. At Kit and Kaboodal, we believe that everybody deserves to shine, and our plus size collections are designed with that ethos at heart.

Italian design principles lie at the core of our pieces, offering not only effortless elegance but clever tailoring and luxurious fabrics that enhance confidence from the moment you slip them on. Flowing silhouettes, soft drapes and thoughtful details ensure comfort and style go hand in hand, so you never have to choose between the two.

We understand the concerns that often come with party dressing: How do I stay comfortable all night? Will this outfit be flattering? What if the venue is too warm or too chilly? Our curated range of plus size party wear is created to ease those worries, giving you solutions without sacrificing your personal style.

Building the Foundation: Start with Confidence

Great party outfits begin with a strong foundation. For plus size fashion, that means starting with high-quality base pieces that feel as good as they look. Think breathable fabrics that move with you, flattering cuts that skim rather than cling, and designs that celebrate your shape.

Our Lagenlook approach is all about layering with intention. Begin with a timeless tunic or longline top, like our Made in Italy tunics, which offers a relaxed yet elevated silhouette. Pair with well-fitted trousers with a fit that flatters your natural curves. Building from these base pieces allows you to express your individual style while feeling secure and supported.

Party-Perfect Looks for Every Occasion

Every event calls for a slightly different approach to dressing, and our range includes versatile options for every party setting.

For a casual celebration, such as a garden party or birthday brunch, opt for breathable, lightweight fabrics. Our linen dresses are perfect for such occasions - airy, effortlessly stylish and forgiving in all the right places. Pair it with colourful sandals and a woven crossbody bag for that laid-back, put-together look.

For those in-between events - cocktail parties, evening dinners, or work celebrations - layering is your best friend. Opting for bold patterns in lightweight fabrics creates visual interest and keeps you warm during cooler moments. Finish with our fitted jeans and ankle boots for a look that’s both polished and practical.

Elevating Outfits with Accessories

Never underestimate the power of the right accessories. A basic outfit can become party-ready with just a few thoughtful additions. We offer accessories that are both stylish and functional - ideal for finishing off your perfect party look.

Scarves can double as wraps on chilly evenings - our scarves add a luxe feel while providing coverage if you want it. Belts can define the waist on a flowy dress, creating a more tailored silhouette. Jewellery, whether bold and chunky or delicate and layered, draws attention to your favourite features.

Footwear also plays a key role. From embellished sandals to supportive ankle boots, choosing the right shoes ensures you can dance the night away without discomfort. And let’s not forget handbags! A structured tote or beaded clutch adds personality while offering just enough space for essentials.

Solutions to Common Party Dressing Challenges

Even the most exciting events come with practical concerns like temperature changes. Especially during seasonal celebrations, moving from a cold winter night into a warm indoor venue can leave you either shivering or overheating. This is where our love of layering truly shines. A lightweight knit like a thin cardigan adds warmth without bulk, while a shawl or kimono is easy to slip off as needed.

Another challenge? Comfort for long events. Our party pieces are crafted with soft, breathable fabrics that offer stretch where you need it. A jumpsuit, for example, feels like pyjamas but looks like a sophisticated statement, and an elasticated waistline and roomy fit ensure you won’t be itching to change halfway through the night.

Concerned about fit and movement? We’ve designed each piece to drape beautifully without clinging. You’ll find plenty of a-line shapes, flowing sleeves and asymmetrical hemlines that flatter your frame while allowing complete freedom of movement. And thanks to our generous sizing and flexible cuts, you can find your perfect fit without stress.

Party dressing should be joyful, not stressful. With the right pieces, you can approach every event with excitement and confidence, knowing your outfit has your back. Our plus size party wear is crafted with real women in mind - real shapes, real lives, and real celebrations.

To keep your party pieces looking their best, we recommend gentle washing, air drying when possible, and storing your garments on padded hangers to maintain their shape. Many of our items are low-maintenance and wrinkle-resistant, making them ideal for last-minute invites and holiday packing.

When building your party wardrobe, focus on versatility. Choose a few base pieces in neutral tones, then mix in bold accessories, printed layers, or statement dresses for impact. With just a handful of thoughtfully selected garments, you can create countless looks for any celebration on your calendar.
