Here at the Boutique, we are very familiar with the Little Black Dress, often simply called the LBD. Everyone should have a fantastic LBD in their closet to pull out for that last minute formal event – classic black can be extremely simple and still look fabulous. That said, today I feel like taking a moment to appreciate the LBD’s much underappreciated counterpart, the Little White Dress. Sometimes, the best color is no color at all. Case in point, this little number from Scala:
SO cute, right? This dress would totally stand out in a sea of Little Black Dresses. And that myth about black being the most flattering color? It goes completely out the window on a dress like this, where the fitted waist and drapey chiffon create a simple, slim silhouette. The bit of flare in the skirt is just flirty enough – to me, this dress is a totally modern take on that Little White Dress classic, the white halter dress worn by Marilyn Monroe in “The Seven Year Itch”. Be warned though, she practiced that move with the subway grate. Leave that to the experts.
I was also really pleased to discover Faviana’s new “White Collection” section while perusing their website recently. They’ve sorted out all of their best white designs and grouped them together so you can see a wide range of styles in white. Here are some faves:
That last one was inspired by a dress worn by Kim Kardashian. It’s also lovely in the other available colors which are navy and fuschia, but the white gives it a certain sparkle that I really enjoy. The delicate chiffon rouching and the beading around the bustline are fantastically well executed, and the fact that the dress is fitted just to the knee and then flared means you could actually walk reasonably well in it. Always a plus. Also, check out the gorgeousness of the back:
