l b d : the little black dress




The little black dress 
has been a go-to item in women's closets for  decades.

With the holidays approaching,
make sure you have one in your closet.  
It can be accessorized in infinite ways
and is always a classic.

the LBD
would become
"a sort of uniform for all women of taste."

there is nothing else to wear in it's place."

  2. You amassed a lovely collection of LBDs on some really fabulous women. Hard to pick a favorite but I think I have to go with vintage Liz Taylor and the awesome Natalie Wood. Today's contemporaries will go down in the history books eventually! Mostly I just love that young and old women are dressing really, really well. I can't think how much fun it is to be rich, with a great figure and be able to buy fab, exceptionally-sewn clothes with sumptuous fabrics. It's wearable art.
