The Little Black Dress: Sophisticated and Multifunctional

The Little Black Dress aka. L.B.D
This peace of clothing is an absolute must have in you closet.
If you going to work, or an a date, the L.B.D is your rescue. 
There isn't a wrong or right way to wear this elegant dress.


It's suited for all sizes and shapes. 
If you're curvy you should wear a scoop neck or a V-neck.
It will accentuate you curves in a nice way and give you length. 

Now a bit of history...
In 1926 Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel saved the women 
by freeing them with there painful corsets. 
She invented the Little Black Dress. 
It was just a simple little thing back then.
The L.B.D gets it's beauty in its straight lines and the mysterious black color. 
It was first shown in the American Vogue.
Vogue called it: 'Chanel's Ford'.
Another master of the L.B.D was Audrey Hepburn.
She wore the Little Black Dress in her hit movie:
Breakfast at Tiffany's 
(A movie which you should have all seen by now!)

Here are some tips so you'll look even better:
1. Invest in a well made L.B.D, you'll wear it forever!
2. Keep your L.B.D simple, and don't over accessorize it!
3. If you pear shaped 
(meaning that you have a bigger lower body then a upper body) 
you should wear a L.B.D that flairs out at the bottom.
4. When in doubt, the L.B.D is your go to!
5. Have fun!
