The little black dress is more than just a stylish outfit for a night out. It is an iconic piece of fashion history and a wardrobe essential for many since 1926 when Vogue published a sketch of a simple black dress that would change the fashion world. Saying it would be “a uniform for all women of taste,” Vogue correctly stated that the piece would become iconic. The brain behind the dress was the brilliant Coco Chanel, who during the Great Depression during the 1930s, featured clothing that was simple and affordable and the little black dress fit the bill. Thanks to the LBD, all women could afford to dress in sophistication. It has since been worn by some of the world's biggest stars. Audrey Hepburn is one of the many names that sported the little black dress, but her outfit in the movie 'Breakfast at Tiffany’s' made her LBD a moment that has been titled one of the greatest fashion moments of all time.

The little black dress is more than just a stylish piece to wear to a party. It's an icon of fashion history and universally agreed that it should be a dress that makes you feel like your best self. So, choose a cut and fabric that appeals to you and make it your own!
