How to Buy the Perfect Little Black Dress
The little black dress (LBD) is one outfit that can flatter and enhance a woman’s shape regardless of her age or body size. Yet many women overlook this wardrobe staple because they think that it can be a little drab. But if you get the basics right – the cut and fabric, for example – then you can create a look that’s anything but boring and one that shows others how the little black dress should be worn.
When shopping for the perfect LBD, look for something in a slightly heavy fabric as this will help to give a smooth and sleek look. A heavy fabric will also hang better and camouflage any bumps you don’t want to draw attention to. Fabric is especially important if you’re on the large size. Try a double-layered jersey dress as you’ll find that the first layer clings to your bumps while the second layer falls smoothly over your body giving a sleek look.
When wearing a black dress, choose accessories that sparkle and shine. Big bold jewelry will complement a black dress and draw attention to your neck, décolletage, and face, and away from certain other areas of your body.
If your LBD is strapless or has spaghetti straps don’t wear a shawl to hide the top half of your body, as this will give the impression of insecurity. Instead, wear a cardigan that complements your outfit.
Always remember to take your body shape into account when choosing your LBD.
Tall
Fit is all important. Make sure that the dress fits in all the right places: The waist falls at your natural waist and the dress doesn’t look too short (the hem should sit just above or at your knee).
Pear Shape
Choose a dress with interesting detail on the top half to draw attention away from your bottom half. Choose a dress in heavy fabric that will help create a smooth silhouette.
Apple Shape
A dress with ruching (gathered layers of fabric) in the middle section will help to give the appearance of a slimmer midsection. Detail on the top half of the dress will draw attention to this area and away from the middle of your body.
Petite
Choose a dress with delicate and interesting detail which won’t swamp your petite frame.
Large Chest
A flowing, fuller skirt will help to create a sleek look. A v-neck is flattering but make sure that it’s not too deep.
Small Chest
You can wear spaghetti straps and low necklines (e.g. deep v-necks). To enhance your bust, choose a dress with extra fabric around the bust line or one that has a built-in bra which will enhance your natural shape.
It’s worth investing a little time and effort in finding the perfect LBD, because if you get this look right, it’s one that you will return to again and again.

‘This Mornings Showbiz’ reporter and ex-Big Brother (UK) house mate Alison Hammond is currently collaborating with Yours Clothing on a clothing line which is due to be launched shortly!
Alison will be selecting a range of clothes to create the “Alison Hammond for Yours Clothing” – a range of real clothes for real women. The upcoming range reflects Alison and Yours Clothing’s passion for promoting on-trend fashionable clothes for real women just like her and the range will be available exclusively online at www.yoursclothing.co.uk.
I had a chance to speak with Alison briefly yesterday about this exciting new line, and this is what she had to say: “Yours Clothing asked me to choose a range, and I really wanted to choose a real range for real women! It’s a range that will fit but flatter, be quality on trend, but at a good price!”
She’s the UK’s biggest star and 2008′s ‘Most Popular TV Presenter’. Alison has notched up over 7 years on UK screens as the people’s favourite with a personality you can never forget!
It’s her unforgettable charm and sense of fun that rate her number one with the celebrities too: she’s tap danced with Renee Zellwegger, rapped with Will Smith, jammed with Russell Crowe and had Pierce Brosnan begging for more. Known for her quick wit, style and big heart, nobody gets a better interview than Alison.
Alison is also an accomplished actress having appeared in various TV dramas, notably: Boon, Chalkface, Locksmith, Yes and 3 series of the BAFTA awards winning Palace Hill. She’s larger than life and she’s ready to take Yours Clothing by storm.
