Classic Black Dress
April 19th, 2010 | Categories: Style | 9 Comments
Every girl who has any semblance of style knows that a black dress is a staple in a girl’s wardrobe. However, up until this past weekend, I actually did not own any black dresses. I owned dresses in mint green, lemon yellow, white, blue and even black-and-white, but no black. However, thanks to a highly successful (albeit incredibly long) shopping trip with my friend, I came home with the perfect addition to my wardrobe.
It has a U-scoop neck with slight tucks and pleats along the bodice. Additionally, there’s a small tulle underskirt which helps the bottom of the dress “poof” out slightly, which I love. (My prom dress has a white tulle underskirt that peeped out just beneath the hemline of the dress.) There’s also a sash-type thing on both sides of the dress that ties into a bow at the back.
Combined with these heels and a black clutch, both of which I currently own, I am all set for a formal event requiring black-tie attire. Or, you know, a killer night on the town. Whichever comes first.

Hi, I'm Manda. I'm a college student studying communications and languages. I like to read, shop, bake, and travel. I have a tendency to listen to my favorite songs on repeat for hours on end. Sometimes I catch myself thinking in a language other than English. 
That’s absolutely adorable! I don’t actually own one myself, although it’d certainly be useful. I might make it my mission this summer to find one!
The best part was that I got this dress for a total bargain cause I got it at a discounted outlet rather than a department store ;D
That dress is super cute!!
I have a confession, I don’t have a little black dress either! Well I have a couple but I don’t think any of them flatters my body at all.
If you don’t mind my asking, how much was that dress? It’s gorgeous! I do not own a little black dress either. I own a pink one, owned a black and white one, and own a navy blue one.
Wow. Wait. I lied. I own a strapless black one I wore to the ‘big school dance’ last year. It’s pretty, but I’m so uncomfortable in strapless dresses.
I love the shoes as well :) Have fun partying the night away/going to those events :)
Prettiness! I like the new dress very much :D I actually don’t own a black dress either. Appalling, really. I don’t really own any nice ‘dress up’ clothes any more because they don’t fit. (Which is good, but also bad because now I need to go spend money.)
You can always alter your clothes yourself :) Stitch excess fabric into neat little gathers, tuck fabric in here and there… it’s not always the best solution, depending on the item of clothing, but it’s an option!
I also didn’t own any little black dresses until recently. After I started Business School, it was the only thing I was on the look-out for, so by now I have 6 black dresses. 4 of which I have never worn. Fail.
Tha dress are totally fab! And you’re absolutely right about that – little black dress is a must-have!!! :)
