Little Black Dress from Bettina Liano

Since Coco Chanel introduced the ‘little black dress” in 1926, it has became the epitome of timeless fashion. It is the answer to any “What should I wear…” questions; from dinners to cocktails parties to business functions.

Unlike the various trends that are in one season and out another, the concept of the LBD is a fashion anomaly. It remains timeless.

This LBD from Bettina Liano is no different. It is simple, elegant and flattering. The gorgeous low back and bow detail were what caught my eyes. In my opinion, they were the stand out factors of this LBD.

This LBD can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. For example, worn with a cardigan and pumps for daytime business wear or with ornate jewllery and hair up for the evening. This LBD will definitely stay in my wardrobe for countless number of years.

Rachel Gilbert - Party Perfect Dress

Beads and sequin-embellished pieces make an evening statement with minimal effort. Rachel Gilbert’s Kiki dress is a stand-out party piece. Accent the look with gold accessories such as rings, bangles and earrings. Keep legs bare for a party-perfect finish. Wear it with a simple pair of heels to allow this statement piece to shine.

This dress is made to be loose fitting. It is best to wear a stick on bra and also if needed use Hollywood tape (double sided clothing tape) on the inside straps of the dress to keep it from falling too low. This dress is slightly heavier at the front because of the sequin details.
