The LITTLE BLACK DRESS
Okay sew great fashion bloggers...You have a night on the town, a gala, or whatever you might have it, and that horrendous question that boggles our mind arises..."WHAT DO I WEAR?"
You plough through a million blouses, skirts, and dresses, and still nothing seems to suit. Then with a defeatist attitude, you walk to the back of your closest and say "I guess I'll wear this black dress, ahh."
Well no worries ladies, whatever age you are the L.B.D is a FAVORITE always safe, and can be dolled up any way.
For instance, wear your dress with a plum shoe or any color to turn up the edge.
~Add black tights or any color that compliments the shoe.
~For a conservative or sensual look, wear the black dress with a nude shoe, open toe, peep toe, or pointed to exaggerate the line of your leg.
~ Also for another conservative look, you can stay all black but play with touches of color in your make up or maybe an earring. This works at any age!
ALWAYS REMEMBER!
The FIT is one of the most important elements of the black dress. We want to see shape...Not a black potato sack! Whatever size or age you are, you can flatter your body by having the dress fit properly in the right places. Choose a length that you are comfortable with too and that your body will appreciate. Too long reads formal, and too short screams bachelorette party!
You want to find a median length that will suit many occasions, because more than likely you will be wearing this dress more than once!
Have fun with the dress and play up your accessories, hair, or make-up. Just because you are wearing black does not mean you have to take the look seriously!
Lastly, don't forget...We have you covered at Fabrique!
We have a huge selection of black fabrics and so much you can embellish them with!!!
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU WEAR BUT WHAT YOU CAN

Maybe you are blessed to walk to the first outfit or dress and pull things together in a whim but many of us RACK our brains for the intent of finding that perfect garment.
I just wanted to say it is okay to pull out or MAKE that little black dress that has an endless amount of opportunity.
Where it all started
Different women all shape, ages, and sizes: how they wear it
I love the black dress because since it is black, pops of color really can turn a look from drab to fabulous!
For instance, wear your dress with a plum shoe or any color to turn up the edge.
~Add black tights or any color that compliments the shoe.
~For a conservative or sensual look, wear the black dress with a nude shoe, open toe, peep toe, or pointed to exaggerate the line of your leg.
