The fabulous Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel designed a version of the little black dress. American Vogue instantly heralded it as the “Ford” of dresses because - like Henry Ford’s “Model-T” car - it became an instant craze, was widely available and came in only one colour: BLACK.

“Fashion fades, only style remains the same.” - Coco Chanel

In 1947 Christian Dior launched the “New Look” collection - a more feminine silhouette using lots of fabric.

The next LBD craze came in 1961 with the release of Blake Edwards’ adaptation of Truman Capote’s book “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” starring Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly. Every elegant woman coveted the Little Black Dress designed for Hepburn by Hubert de Givenchy.

Capote originally wanted to cast Marilyn Monroe in the lead, but Hepburn’s style and grace showed off Givenchy’s creations to spectacular effect.

Audrey Hepburn’s LBD worn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s sold at a Christie’s auction in London for a staggering ₤467,200.

In 1993 Diana, Princess of Wales wore a Christina Stambolian LDB to a function at the Serpentine Gallery while Prince Charles publicly confessed to adultery.

At the 80th Oscars Nicole Kidman proved that all you need to look sensational is an LBD and bold accessory (it also helps to be dressed by Balenciaga).

“If you put a black dress on, you’re never inappropriate and you’re never out of style” - Nicole Miller

fit snug at max measure - please leave room for comfort.

Condition:

In good condition. A pea sized brown spot on the left side of the skirt. Three tiny grey smudges on the rear of the bodice. An orange pin dot on the front bodice (almost impossible to see). Little bit of marking on the satin at the underarms. A few tiny holes in the lining (not visible). Slightest hint of color variation on the satin. The bottom portion of the bow was tacked up… went to untaken it and realized that it is hiding a small tear in the bow underneath, so we have left it (tear is not visible this way and dress looks fine).

!!! IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT VINTAGE!!!

Before leaving feedback:

- The condition of VINTAGE items is a subjective opinion

- I point out any major flaws I see, I may not list inside flaws if they are not seen and don’t effect the wear-ability of the item, trivial missed minor flaws do not constitute misrepresentation.
- Cleaning is usually left up to the new owner.

- I dry clean items or I wash them if they really need it. So please expect to have to clean or at least steam your item, as they will be wrinkled from shipping.

- Vintage items will not look new please expects them to look previously worn and owned, some more worn than others.
- The absence of a label in a garment does not necessarily mean item was homemade, regardless. Vintage labels may have been removed by original owner or the tag’s threads age and tag is lost, torn out, etc.

Please read entire ad and double check before buying if you are not familiar with the issues of Vintage.

The most important thing when picking out a pair is to pay attention to the fabric. Do not pass pantyhose off as leggings. Choose a quality, heavier material that will hide imperfections and will give your legs a smooth, flawless surface.

Leggings come in materials from denim to leather, so experiment to find the right pair for you. The design is in the details, too — zippers, buttons and lace are all popping up on leggings.

Not quite ready to bare all? Opt for a great pair of dark skinny denim. This allows you to feel a little more held in, while still maintaining the overall silhouette of a legging.

Tips on how to wear blazers and leggings:

Wear leggings like leggings. Even if they are leather or denim, you must still have some coverage of your waist and hips. Most boyfriend blazers will cover enough, but if opting for a shrunken blazer, be sure to pair it with a longer top.

Go for a full-length legging that comes down to your ankle. This creates a much longer line and is more flattering than cropped styles, which visually cut your leg in half.

Wear your legging-and-blazer outfit with “shooties” (cross between an ankle boot and a shoe) or boots to complete the look. Leggings are the perfect bottoms to tuck into boots because there is minimal bunching.

All Hallows’ Even

In the 800s, the Church measured the day as starting at sunset, in accordance with the Florentine calendar. Although All Saints’ Day is now considered to occur one day after Halloween, the two holidays were once celebrated on the same day.

Thank you for following!

Step 46. Volunteer

A useful way to help others is to volunteer. Time is the most important resource that you have and the idea of offering this prized possession is a unique experience. Offer help at a kids or old people center, in schools or churches.

Step 47. Ups and downs

You won’t feel permanently motivated because you have ups and downs in your life. The important thing is to keep your ground and let go of the moments of anger and frustration.

Step 48. Your contribution

What will you leave behind? Have you ever thought that the decent life you have involves a feed-back when you go out, when you leave the country or when you die? Decide to make your future activities as constructive as possible so that your place in the world will gain a higher value.

Step 49. Enjoy the ride

While you follow your plan thoroughly, don’t forger to smile and enjoy every moment of your life.

Don’t focus only on your goal because otherwise you’ll lose your motivation and your strength to move on.

Step 50. Start in the right direction

Maybe you don’t realize this, but it’s not a long time from now until you get the success you want. The simple fact that you had the patience to read this article is a step forward on your way to success. Now all that’s left is to get through the 49 steps.

Whether you find them in your favorite books, or from the movies on TV or you hear them from your favorite stars, quotes can motivate you. Don’t hesitate to write it down every time you find yourself in a quote.

Step 42. Learn from your mistakes

When things don’t work like you want them to, don’t waste the opportunity to learn from the mistakes. Get closer and closer to the solutions you want by trying to repair the past mistakes.

Step 43. Manifest your curiosity

The world is full of amazing things that are ready to be discovered. Be curious and read, discuss, observe, listen and uncover the mysteries that surround you.

Step 44. Around children

Spending time with kids can be relaxing, you can forget about worries and problems because it’s pleasant to remind yourself that you were once a kid. As adults, we’ve learned to hide our true feelings and we have a reticent attitude. Release your imagination and enjoy life!

Step 45. Focus on those around you

There is nothing more useful than directing your attention on those around you and learning from their problems. Offer support to those who need you and, together, find solutions for all the problems you face.
