In 1926, iconic designer Coco Chanel changed the world of  fashion by publishing a photo featuring a model wearing a black calf-length dress in an issue of Vogue. That simple black dress caused an unprecendented response from women who had previously only worn black for funerals and periods of mourning. The little black dress became a staple piece in every woman's wardrobe no matter her size, shape or social class. It was effortless and affordable chic that any woman could own.

Fast forward nearly a century later, and the little black dress is a wardrobe must-have. Every woman needs that one figure flattering, confidence boosting, little black dress in her closet. The perfect dress for day or night that can be dressed up or dressed down.
