"Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman"- Coco Chanel

The little black dress is the #1 staple piece of clothing that every woman should own. It is appropriate for numerous events and can be worn dressed up or down. The LBD has been on trend for the last century and will remain fashionable for the next 100 years plus. 

For a short curvy woman, it can be hard to find a dress that compliments our shape sometimes. A fit and flare shape like this little black dress is perfect! It shows off your petite frame while hiding the correct areas (in my case, the hips). The length is also key. Look for dresses that end right above the knee or at the knee. This length will make it appear as if you have longer legs and are taller. This dress is great because it has a jeweled necklace and pockets!! It's perfect for weddings, parties, or a hot date.
