40 Lovely Little Black Dresses

From Skimpy See-Through Dresses to Spiked Spine Frocks

— January 27, 2012 — Fashion
There may be no other piece of clothing more iconic and reliable than the LBD and these little black dresses offer everything from the classic ebony sheath dress, to sexier versions like transparent frocks.

Perhaps made most popular by Audrey Hepburn's 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' character Holly Golightly, the LBD is now an absolute must-have in every woman's wardrobe. In fact, it may just be the ultimate wardrobe staple.

The fashion world has long addressed its importance in the industry, and this is quite apparent just by looking at a red carpet during award shows or movie premieres, and the LBD is a constant fixture in fashion magazines as well.

These little black dresses are sure to inspire you to pull out your classic raven-hued frock and take it for another spin.
