Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Dillard’s, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended July 29, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending February 3, 2018 due to, among other factors, the seasonal nature of the business. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2017 filed with the SEC on March 24, 2017.

Business Segments

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segments	Business Segments The Company operates in two reportable segments: the operation of retail department stores (“retail operations”) and a general contracting construction company (“construction”). For the Company’s retail operations, the Company determined its operating segments on a store by store basis. Each store’s operating performance has been aggregated into one reportable segment. The Company’s operating segments are aggregated for financial reporting purposes because they are similar in each of the following areas: economic characteristics, class of consumer, nature of products and distribution methods. Revenues from external customers are derived from merchandise sales, and the Company does not rely on any major customers as a source of revenue. Across all stores, the Company operates one store format under the Dillard’s name where each store offers the same general mix of merchandise with similar categories and similar customers. The Company believes that disaggregating its operating segments would not provide meaningful additional information. The following tables summarize certain segment information, including the reconciliation of those items to the Company’s consolidated operations: (in thousands of dollars) Retail Operations Construction Consolidated Three Months Ended July 29, 2017: Net sales from external customers $ 1,384,553 $ 42,657 $ 1,427,210 Gross profit 418,491 1,665 420,156 Depreciation and amortization 59,701 167 59,868 Interest and debt expense (income), net 15,817 (19 ) 15,798 (Loss) income before income taxes and income on and equity in earnings of joint ventures (27,683 ) 642 (27,041 ) Income on and equity in earnings of joint ventures 11 — 11 Total assets 3,707,899 41,436 3,749,335 Three Months Ended July 30, 2016: Net sales from external customers $ 1,403,410 $ 49,035 $ 1,452,445 Gross profit 457,275 1,811 459,086 Depreciation and amortization 60,433 174 60,607 Interest and debt expense (income), net 15,994 (15 ) 15,979 Income before income taxes and income on and equity in earnings of joint ventures 17,918 644 18,562 Income on and equity in earnings of joint ventures 11 — 11 Total assets 3,789,486 53,522 3,843,008 Six Months Ended July 29, 2017: Net sales from external customers $ 2,770,073 $ 75,248 $ 2,845,321 Gross profit 964,991 3,191 968,182 Depreciation and amortization 119,544 335 119,879 Interest and debt expense (income), net 31,520 (40 ) 31,480 Income before income taxes and income on and equity in earnings of joint ventures 74,677 743 75,420 Income on and equity in earnings of joint ventures 22 — 22 Total assets 3,707,899 41,436 3,749,335 Six Months Ended July 30, 2016: Net sales from external customers $ 2,852,798 $ 102,889 $ 2,955,687 Gross profit 1,019,454 4,295 1,023,749 Depreciation and amortization 120,908 344 121,252 Interest and debt expense (income), net 31,723 (30 ) 31,693 Income before income taxes and income on and equity in earnings of joint ventures 136,699 1,483 138,182 Income on and equity in earnings of joint ventures 22 — 22 Total assets 3,789,486 53,522 3,843,008 Intersegment construction revenues of $12.6 million and $23.3 million for the three months ended July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016, respectively, and $21.6 million and $33.2 million for the six months ended July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016, respectively, were eliminated during consolidation and have been excluded from net sales for the respective periods.

Benefit Plans	Benefit Plans The Company has an unfunded, nonqualified defined benefit plan (“Pension Plan”) for its officers. The Pension Plan is noncontributory and provides benefits based on years of service and compensation during employment. The Company determines pension expense using an actuarial cost method to estimate the total benefits ultimately payable to officers and allocates this cost to service periods. The actuarial assumptions used to calculate pension costs are reviewed annually. The Company contributed $1.2 million and $2.8 million to the Pension Plan during the three and six months ended July 29, 2017 , respectively, and expects to make additional contributions to the Pension Plan of approximately $2.5 million during the remainder of fiscal 2017 .

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes During the three months ended July 29, 2017, income tax benefit differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the effect of state and local income taxes and tax benefits recognized for federal tax credits. During the three months ended July 30, 2016, income tax expense differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the effect of state and local income taxes partially offset by tax benefits recognized for federal tax credits. During the six months ended July 29, 2017 and July 30, 2016, income tax expense differed from what would be computed using the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the effect of state and local income taxes partially offset by tax benefits recognized for federal tax credits.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , which stipulates that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. This update was amended by ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date , which deferred the effective date for the Company from the first quarter of fiscal 2017 to the first quarter of fiscal 2018. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). This ASU clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, as it assists in the determination of whether the entity controls the good or service before it is transferred to the customer. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. This ASU clarifies two aspects of Topic 606, including identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the principles for those areas. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients . This ASU clarifies three aspects of Topic 606, including the objective of the collectibility criterion, the measurement date for noncash consideration and the requirements for a completed contract. The ASU also includes a practical expedient for contract modifications. Additionally, the amendments allow an entity to exclude amounts collected from customers for all sales taxes from the transaction price. The Company has substantially completed its initial evaluation of the impact of these updates on its consolidated financial statements, including an in-depth assessment of all revenue streams to determine which processes will be affected by these updates and the transition methods for applying the updates. Based on the results of the assessment, the Company is focusing on the construction segment revenue that is recorded using the percentage of completion method and working to quantify the impact to the financial statements. The Company expects that there will be certain adjustments to the retail operations that are not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements. The Company will adopt the standard during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under these amendments, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases historically classified as operating leases under Accounting Standards Codification, Leases (Topic 840) .
