perfect little black dress

[kimmy]

i'm turning twenty-one on sunday and my boyfriend's made plans. i don't know where we're going for dinner (but i'm getting me a mango margarita at el torito for lunch HOLLA!) and all my best friend will let on is that it's somewhere secluded and romantic.

i want a little black dress for that. all the ones i have found lately have puffy skirts though, and i'd rather have something that clings a little closer to my legs. not too clingy because i have long legs so i take really lengthy steps. i'm thinking of wearing black wedges with cork soles, mainly because i need an excuse to wear them again.

x-small or small will work, dress size probably 0 or 2? i don't know much about dresses...so can somebody point me in a direction? i'd rather not buy online because i have to try it on first.

I don't know if you have Mango in the US, but if you do, go in there and look. And make sure you ask an assistant to help you pick one out. I went to look and tried on a few RUBBISH things, and when the assistant asked what I was looking for, she came back to me with a million dresses which I didn't see on the rails.

I found a perfect little black dress in there.
Good luck!

Try Forever 21, they have a good selection, thrift stores or discount clothes stores like Marshalls have more good stuff than you would think. I got both of my LBDs at Ross!

I don't know ...I get most of mine from Nordies...I have one I can send you

it's a small...fits just a bit tight on me...but it was a $300 dress I got it for 50% off...but it has been just hanging in my closet for a year now unworn ..l.I can try to photograph it

I'm probably biased because I used to work there, but try bebe. They have the most adorable black dresses that are sleek, sexy, and often times classic with a twist. The only downside is that the price range is about 100-200 dollars. You will probably wear an X-Small there.

Some examples:

bebe Bustier Flounce Dress

bebe Solo Shoulder Wrap Dress

bebe Strapless Studded Party Dress

idk your budget, but white house black market has only black and white, so they have tons of black dresses. I think they're around $60-$70 starting , but I could be wrong, I only went in there once. Also check bebe like luvsic said, they always have alot.

I'm also a size 0 and I bought a strapless, pencil type dress in Forever 21 (you can never go wrong in there) and if your budget allows, like the others said above, Bebe has nice things. As a matter of fact, the dress I bought at Forever 21 was a replica of a Bebe one. Good luck!
