Every woman needs at least one little black dress in her closet. This dress can be slipped on for various occasions and should make you feel beautiful and well-dressed. Finding one may take some patience, but once you find that perfect dress, you'll be able to wear it again and again.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Little black dress
  1. Step 1

    Consider the occasion you're buying the black dress for. You'll need to determine if it's a fancy or more casual event.

  2. Step 2

    Shop at various places, including your favorite stores, outlet malls or online retailers.

  3. Step 3

    Try on any dresses you like before buying, whenever possible.

  4. Step 4

    Make sure you look at yourself from all angles when in the dressing room.

  5. Step 5

    Choose a dress that flatters your shape and style.

  6. Step 6

    Buy accessories at the same time you buy the dress, if needed. Pearls are always a classic choice.

Tips & Warnings
  • When you find the perfect little black dress for you, you should be able to wear it for various occasions.
  • Having a few different little black dresses gives you more options.
  • Wrap-style dresses are flattering to many different shapes.
  • Petite women should wear dresses that stop at or right above the knee or that fall to the floor.
  • Plus size women should wear dresses that enhance their favorite assets.
  • Women who have great legs can show them off in mini-dresses.
  • Don't buy anything if it doesn't fit, thinking that you'll lose weight to fit into it. Only buy what fits you in the dressing room.
  • Don't buy something just because it's on sale if it's not your style. You won't feel completely comfortable when wearing it.
