Little Black Dresses

 

The little black dress is a timeless classic, pioneered by Coco Chanel, who liberated us from corsets and frills, so it’s a statement of independence and elegance. Coco intended for the little black dress to be long-lasting, versatile, affordable and accessible and to the widest market possible, which it is without doubt what it is deemed today.

The little black dress is easy to wear and easy to style, an elegant black dress can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion: for example, worn with a jacket and pumps for daytime business wear or with more ornate accessories for the evening. Wearing your dress with a blazer or sweater and some knee length boots is a great look for work or an interview.

A girl must always have the perfect LBD in her wardrobe as it will always make you look elegant and glamorous. One can never go wrong with a little black dress. They add versatility to your wardrobe making it well worth the purchase. Black never fades, it always goes with the trends and you can mix and match it with anything. You can choose your perfect LBD to suit your size and shape. You don’t have to be a skinny stick to wear one. More voluptuous girls can wear them too. The LBD is perfect for that slimming affect.

Your dress can also go on holiday with you and will be perfect for a stunning look quickly.  Whether you’re heading off to a class reunion or walking the decks of a cruise ship, the little black dress is a no-fail option. Look for details that flatter your shape (strapless to show off great shoulders; waist details to optimize an hourglass shape) and pick a length anywhere from mini to right below the knee for the most versatile look. Be sure to choose a material that resists wrinkles and dries quickly and you are ready for any fashion emergency. An LBD is a wardrobe staple that will go with all your new fashion finds from magpie antique jewels to colourful shoes and jazzy tights. Black fashion is a staple on the international catwalks and is a shade that people will never tire of seeing it’s poetic and romantic with a hint of sensuality.

Famous little black dresses include Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, who epitomised the style of Coco Chanel, adorning her LBD with pearls in the film. Wallis Warfield Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, was known to own several little black dresses and said much in praise of the garments. She was quoted saying: “When a little black dress is right, there is nothing else to wear in its place.”

Edith Piaf, the French folk icon, performed in a black sheath dress throughout her career, for this habit she was nicknamed “little black sparrow.” It was thought that the dress helped audiences to focus more on Edith Piaf’s singing and less on her appearance.
