The iconic little black dress or ‘LBD’ has been a wardrobe essential for most women since the 1920s. However, I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve never actually owned one. So when preparing for the Little Black Dress event that I’m attending this week I started thinking about how I should wear it. Autumn/winter 2010 trends weren’t much help, I fail to see how the new ‘midi’ length fits in with the ‘little’ black dress, so that’s out, and a dress covered in brass buttons military-style will soon look dated. I want my dress to stand the test of time as it should.
However, I’m still excited about owning my first LBD and the possibilities of reworking it each time it comes into use. So I’ve opted for a classic shift dress, sleeveless and knee length with a simple neck line, a perfect style for my body shape - Gok would be proud! This will hopefully stand to be my wardrobe staple, with me through thick and thin, carefully chosen for glamorous parties as well as thrown on last minute when nothing else feels right!
