Not every LBD is created equal, which is why I give you a variety of vintage ideas to be inspired by in my Shop Finds and in today’s post. These Little Black Dresses span from ’50s to ’80s, proving that this “little” thing called the Black Dress is a big deal in fashion history. Read my post on the history of Little Black Dresses to learn more about its style origins and history.
This little black dress with sleeves is a one-way ticket to relaxed style and gives you the freedom to wear it how you want. The short, flared hem is gorgeously youthful while oozing sophistication at the same time. A subtle V-neckline draws the eye down to your waist, further defining that hourglass figure that just begs to be shown off. You can rock the Theory Belted Mini Dress without the belt for a carefree, Coachella-worthy style, too—just throw on some vintage cowboy boots and let your inner flower child run free. There’s something about bell sleeves that just shower us with confidence, charm, and allure. The Theory Belted Mini Dress is cut from silk-crepe in a casual fit, with an elegant waist-tie belt to form an enviable silhouette.
Floral Wrap Style Dress
Woven from a figure-hugging crepe, this dress is a masterpiece of origami. The artful design twists and turns in all the right places, culminating in a ruched waist that bestows that hourglass silhouette only wrap dresses can truly offer. Match this LBD with ballet flats for a cutesy retro aesthetic, or heeled pumps for a look that’ll take you from soirée to swing dance. For petite women who love to showcase their exuberant personalities, the Michael Kors Poplin Midi Dress is a one-stop shop. For a little back dress with a difference, try the Dodo Bar Or Black Elisha Dress on for size.
Slipping into Cuyana’s Pleat-Back Tee Dress is like wrapping your body in swathes of silk. Crafted from 100% Chinese silk, this dress was designed with the brand’s signature timelessness in mind. Elevated with the pleat detail and mischievous side slits, this Cuyana dress is far from your average tee dress. A little back dress in the loosest sense of the term, the L’Agence Lorraine Asymmetric Dress is the ultimate ‘one-and-done’ LBD. The flowy crepe falls just above the ankle, making it perfect for flaunting your favorite pair of gladiator sandals. This casual little back dress was made for languid summer days, sipping seaside cocktails and checking out the eye candy under the shade of a wide-brimmed hat.

If the item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer is responsible for any loss in value. These postcards are beautiful, and I haven't located a version of the book with anything better. Highly recommend this shop, the seller packs everything so well I don't think it's possible for anything to be damaged in shipping, and great communication. After you place your order, vintagejewelryAlvina will take 1-3 business days to prepare it for shipment. Other factors—such as shipping carrier delays or placing an order on weekend/holiday—may push the arrival of your item beyond this date.
It’s plain enough to personalize with accessories, but the details make it special enough to stand on its own. A colored chunky necklace creates a boho look that is perfect for a slip dress. Be sure that your necklace is above or below the neckline. A purse or clutch can also be used as a little black dress accessory. A black clutch is elegant and always a good choice for formal events. For date night, choose a brightly colored purse that provides a pop of color.

If your dress has a plunging neckline, consider a bold pendant or a delicate necklace with statement earrings. For a fun, upbeat look, choose a bright color like pink or lime green. There are many ways to accessorize a little black dress, but they fall into a few basic categories. When it comes to shoes, strappy sandals are brilliant for party-girl vibes, while Chelsea boots are wonderful for a Saturday shopping trip. These will serve to keep you warm while allowing you to rock that LBD like you were born for it.
No matter what your favorite '70s look, you'll find something you love in our collection. Check out a super-feminine, floor-length dress or a '70s jumpsuit that shows off all your curves. Opt for glitzy details like faux fur, flared legs or flamboyant neon colors in retro mod outfits. I had a wonderful time shopping for new items for the store yesterday. I am obsessed with prints and patterns, so my picks reflect my current mood.
Note that my legs look best in the shoes that are close to the color of my skin. I am always on the look out for a comfortable and versatile dress. I’m looking forward to styling it in many of the ways you suggest.
Bosley Crowther of The New York Times was of the opinion that the film "is not too well acted", with the exception of Hepburn, who "gives the impression of being sensitive and pure" of its "muted theme". Variety magazine also complimented Hepburn's "soft sensitivity, marvelous projection and emotional understatement", adding that Hepburn and MacLaine "beautifully complement each other". Hepburn was signed to a seven-picture contract with Paramount, with 12 months in between films to allow her time for stage work. She was featured on 7 September 1953 cover of Time magazine, and also became known for her personal style.
