Creates a timeless silhouette
WE have all been told that every lady must have a little black dress in their wardrobe. It is supposed to be the emergency fall back for any occasion. But we do have trouble finding an outfit that suits our unique shapes and tastes and at the same time one that sets us apart from the crowd.

WE have all been told that every lady must have a little black dress in their wardrobe. It is supposed to be the emergency fall back for any occasion. But we do have trouble finding an outfit that suits our unique shapes and tastes and at the same time one that sets us apart from the crowd.
I have explored several options and I hope you find the little black dress that meets your requirements. Here is the sixth one.
The outfit:
The golden Chinese ball buttons on this black dress with its off-shoulder cut creates a timeless silhouette whose quiet elegance is suitable for any smart occasion.
Tip:
Dropped shoulder lines are very feminine and suitable for all. They help soften the body line and draw attention to the neck.
Fabric
requirements:
Fabrics that are ideal for this outfit are chiffon, georgette, linen, silk, satin and bazaar.
2-2 ½ metres of double width fabric is needed for the dress if it is not cut on the bias grain. (The taller and fuller the figure, the more the fabric required)
Gold bias trim and Chinese ball buttons will be needed to accessorise the outfit as illustrated.
