Little Black Dress!

Coco Chanel made little black dress popular and it has retained its classic appeal even today. It is a versatile piece to have in our wardrobe. The color is a good background to enhance any accessory. It can look like a whole new outfit with different accessories. However, important facts to consider is the fit and style of the dress.

The points to remember while shopping for a black dress:
  • Fit should be perfect. You can choose sheath or A-line dress according to your preferance.
  • If you are petite, shop it in that section because the regular size has different proportions. For example: petite size has a bust line higher than the regular size.
  • Hemline which is ideally at or above knee is good. This is an important criteria for a petite woman/girl.
  • Neckline can be chosen according to your body type. Busterier or petite girls can go with V-shape to elongate their body. Scoop and boat necklines are classic choices.
  • Try to avoid asymmetric neckline or hemline and ruffles.
  • If you could afford go for a high quality dress. This will help to achieve chic look and also increases durability of the dress.
