Classic Black Chanel, no one does an LBD better than Chanel. The proof of this lies in the black satin dress pictured below. One special feature that we love pointing out on a dress are pockets, and this LBD has two of them. The skirt falls just below the pockets, sewn in a zig-zag pattern. There are seven pleated sections that make up the skirt along with a black satin lined tulle under-skirt which adds the perfect amount of volume. Every woman needs a the perfect little black dress in their closet, why not make it a Chanel!

"Lucky Star"

Ah the 80's! What a time it was for fashion...we all remember teasing and spraying our hair as if there was no tomorrow. The bigger it was the better it looked and cutting holes in our leggings while dancing to Madonna's Lucky Star epitomized a woman's youth.

What better way to bring us back in time than this fun Betsey Johnson strapless number. This weightless LBD with a twist is made of a ruched elastic nylon that can be form fitting on anyone and is sure to be the talk of the night. A perfect excuse to relive those rebellious and self-determined moments of our youth.

OFF THE SHOULDER

This Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel 1980s black silk crepe LBD is not only off the wall but is off the shoulder, too! The dress has an adjustable neckline that can be worn conservatively in a scoop, or more sexy, off-the-shoulder. This dress will never go out of style. We repeat never go out of style. It is a perfect example of the French chic style of dressing Coco Chanel adapted at the beginning of the 20th century which Karl Lagerfeld has mastered since being Master of the House in 1983. We love the little peak-a-boo back with satin bows and the gilt button closures. The dress is form fitting, but not spank-tight. Throw on a strand of faux Chanel pearls (we got 'em) and a pair of unexpected Brian Atwood sexy shoes (you should get 'em!) and you will be the best dressed for decades!

Courregeous Take on the LBD

This sequined dress with feather shoulder straps is not your typical little black dress; it's from Courreges, the legendary Parisian fashion house that made mod all the mode. This particular piece dates back to the late 1960s and fits a contemporary size 4.

LBD by Anonyme...

Anonymous is my favorite designer. However, the daughter of the original owner of this terribly chic LBD feels this dress is either Jacques Fath or Jacques Heim...the label has gone astray, but it is French Haute Couture and appears flawless. Classic details with a gorgeous bugle and flat bead sequin pattern. It will NEVER go out of style, so surrender to Anonyme....
