Today is Friday and this weekend we're having a sale on Little Black Dresses (LBD). Coco Chanel invented the LBD in 1926. It originally debuted in Vogue magazine, which called it a "Ford". This was a reference to the famous all-black model T cars, known for their simplicity and dependability. Not everyone appreciated the LBD at the time. One of her competitor's remarked, "“What has Chanel invented? De luxe poverty.”
The LBD was the perfect attire for women attending the recent invention of the "cocktail party". It allowed her to go from a sophisticated but less formal evening look to a full evening look with the same dress just by changing one's accessories. Over the years, the LBD has become a staple in every woman's wardrobe. A classic LBD is timeless and can be worn practically anywhere: the office, a cocktail party, a dinner party, or to pick up the kids from day care.
Follow in the footsteps of Coco Chanel and get your LBD this weekend at the store. 20% all LBDs and other black dresses too.
