Little Black Dress Must-Haves

May 3, 2017 17 Comments

Yes, the Little Black Dress Must-Haves. There are the any-occasion, go-to, classic outfit idea which will take you from wedding to date night to semi-formal occasion. But a little black dress doesn’t have to be boring. The cut, style, accessories all make the LBD more than a wardrobe basic. Which is your favourite dress?…

Little Black Dress Must-Haves

Aside: I was inspired to write about the LBD because of my daughter’s grade 8 semi-formal. She’s 13 but is the size of a…well…me. So how do you appropriately attire a woman-size tween? I know a lot of her classmates are going all out with chiffon and colour.

However, I didn’t want to buy her a dress she would only wear once. And really, how many formal events do 13 year old girls go to these days? I guided her towards a little black dress. Something she would feel great in at semi…but also a dress she could wear when we go out to a restaurant.

She choose a dress with an awesome cut-out; making it a little more fun than a regular dress and funkier than a formal dress. Bonus: the girl is COMFORTABLE in the dress (and anyone who has a 13 year old daughter knows body image is really, really important).

What makes a LBD unique?

  • Neckline (I love the scalloped neckline above)
  • Fit (I don’t mind form fitted but I also like a little twirl factor for dancing)
  • Fabric (I’m team machine-wash but that’s minimalist me).
  • Shoes (LBD goes with flats just as well as heels)
  • Accessories (a pop of colour can be awesome)

    I had the same problem when our daughter was a tween. A LBD is perfect.

    My daughter’s the same age & I agree with going for the little black dress. There are a ton of ways to accessorize & add colored pieces depending on the function. I would also try to find a fabric that travels well without wrinkling.

    Ye I do have a LBD. I may dress casually most of the time but I am ready if need be. All I have to do is change the look with shoes and accessories.
