Made chic by Chanel and epitomised by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the Little Black Dress, or LBD, is an iconic garment that deserves a spot in every woman’s wardrobe. From the deceptively simple to the downright dazzling, the LBD can be whatever you want it to be. Here are some of our favourites from the Curvissa plus size dresses collection.
At the office
This elegant shift dress from M.I.M is perfect for your working wardrobe and conveys authority without losing femininity. Providing the ideal solution to the office-to-bar outfit, team with a pair of courts and add a splash of colour with a scoop neck cardigan in a dark shade, or work the on-trend monochrome look with a white winter warmer.
At the weekend
Another one from M.I.M, this jersey dress with a sailor neckline provides a casual approach to the Little Black Dress but, in true LBD style, can be adorned with accessories for a great evening look. Wear this with leggings and ballet pumps for a walk around the shops and switch to killer heels when you hit the clubs.
At a posh party
With its fine pleated design, satin roses and floaty double layered skirt, this gorgeous evening dress is sure to make you look and feel elegant and chic for your special event. The V-neckline and embellishment make this LBD perfect for pear shapes, whilst the cinched waist and flared skirt will flatter the figures of rectangle, V and hourglass girls.
On a date
You can’t really go wrong with a Little Black Dress on a first date. Radiating cool confidence and feminine charm is easy in an LBD, and this soft flowing tunic dress is no exception. The deep V-neck and just-above-the-knee length allows you to show off your figure without revealing too much, whilst the embellished batwing sleeves and fantastic fit are sure to impress your date.
