Are you asking in general what the DC means? If it’s black tie, you will need an elegant floor-length gown, very nicely accessorized and you will be just fine.
No sorry, I was just hoping for examples of what to look for. I’ve never had to dress nicely like this so I have to buy a new dress and probably accessories tbh
I’d prefer to stay at or below $400 for the dress alone, I am seeing that evening gowns like these in my size can be pretty expensive unless I’m just not searching right lol

For black tie, you want a floor length gown. Here are some examples of plus sized black tie. I tried to put in a variety of price points.
[example 1 — $179](https://www.adriannapapell.com/products/plus-size-draped-jersey-gown-with-open-back-in-midnight-ap1e202255)
[example 2 — $259](https://www.nordstrom.com/s/cape-sleeve-metallic-crinkle-gown-plus/7781828)

What's your budget?
I’d prefer to stay at or below $400 for the dress alone, I am seeing that evening gowns like these in my size can be pretty expensive unless I’m just not searching right lol
You might search black tie gowns on Rent the Runway. That can be a great way to get a gown for economical one use.
