The Little Black Dress

A must-have for any woman, the little black dress never goes out of style. It has transcended decades of fashion ups and downs. The black dress has established itself as a timeless classic.

A designer friend of mine said though that these days, only big people wear black to hide their fat or to get away with having no originality. I agree on both counts. I think that's how the little black dress has retained it's overall popularity.

The problem now though is that there are so many going around, how do you decide which little black dress is right for you? One page from Edressme.com New York has more than 80 design variations on the little black dress with prices ranging from $100-$500.
My favorite here though has to be the dress posted here by La Femme. It's $178. Note the halter design and the semi-see through material from the mid-rib to the lower back gives it just the it the right hint of sexiness. It can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Compliment with a jacket during the day or trade that for sparkling drop earrings for a night in the town.
If on a shoe string budget though, there's always Amazon starting at $5. Requires a little bit more patience though to go through Amazon's list. But here's a knit baby-doll dress with an empire waistline (best for trying to hide the belly while still showing off some curves) from Mossimo
