Little Not-So-Black Dress

Every woman knows that a little black dress completes the list of wardrobe must-haves.  Defy the rules: Be the diamond among the black dresses.

The best part: All of these are dresses made in the USA.



 


PSA: Because your best girlfriend may or may not tell you and your spouse or date may be afraid to:  Some dresses more than others require certain.......how shall we say it - undergarments.  The undergarments that lock and load everything properly, as in no panty lines, a smooth mid-section and your top half accentuates not steals the show because they were getting ready to pop out at any minute.  Wear a dress that is your ACTUAL size, not your PERCEIVED size.  You will look beautiful and thinner.  Squeezing into something too small will show everything that you don't want to show and we don't want that to happen and quite frankly, we don't want to stare at it.
