The little black dress, aka LBD, is considered a timeless classic and essential to complete any woman’s wardrobe. A LBD is an evening or cocktail dress, it is usually black in colour, simple in its cut, design and embellishments and is often short in length. The strength of this piece is its versatility to be used for multiple occasions. Due to its simplicity, accessories will do all the work, by giving your LBD multiple looks. Fantastic for those emergency “what can I wear?” situations, the key to a great LBD is to find a style that fits you really well. It should be comfortable and flatter your shape - accentuating your figure assets and hiding your challenges. It is well worth investing in a LBD made of quality fabric, as this piece will be a keeper. Choose a length that is age and situation appropriate and suits your personal body shape. Knee length is usually the most flattering. The key is to keep it simple. Timeless style is essential! Be particularly careful when selecting a dress with embellishments as it can quickly date and restrict accessorizing options. And lastly... invest, invest, invest in accessories that will keep your LBD current and give it lots of different looks for many occasions. Most importantly have fun, be open minded and creative when styling your little black dress.
