It’s an oft-written rule that every stylish woman must own a little black dress. I’m all for breaking style rules, but you’ll never catch me without an ‘LBD’ in my wardrobe.

The little black dress is famous for its versatility; with the right accessories you can wear it to just about any occasion that requires an evening dress (except for weddings where it is still considered by some to be a faux pas to wear black). Dress it up with stilettos and pearls, or dress it down with colorful accessories like a fun pink cardigan and matching kitten heels.

This Trixxi stretch ruched dress in particular will show off your gorgeous shape, while the ruching along the bodice looks elegant and helps disguise any unwanted curves like love handles. The bust is lightly padded and the straps are adjustable. However, I would still recommend wearing a low-cut strapless bra. If you’re concerned about showing your upper arms, just add a cropped jacket or cardigan.

Make sure you check the merchant’s sizing chart, though, since this appears to be a juniors dress.

Such a fancy frock may not be worn quite as often as a less formal day dress; nevertheless at $15 the cost-per-wear of this beauty makes it a great bargain. That’s a 78% discount from the original price of $69!
