Yes, it’s the Little White Dress that I’m talking about! It comes as an alternative for the classic and exceptionally elegant Little Black Dress. We all know that LBD is a sophisticated classics that looks well both at a prom and a formal dinner.
But when we think about spring that is already with us, LBD is something you probably want to forget about. Black is great and it’s chic but it seems too dull in spring and summer when everything is so bright and lively.
What designers want to offer to us is another classic – it’s going to be called LWD or Little White Dress!
Many couturiers have introduced this optimistic color to make us forget about all those problems we are experiencing today, I mean the economic recession that is always on our minds.
Besides, white is extremely feminine and very flirty. Wearing it you will always look perfect!
But what is LWD like? Basically it’s just a white dress with the skirt no longer than a knee point. It can be of any style, with any kind of embellishment or adornment.
Modern collections include nice examples of laconic minimalism. Minimalism means minimum details of any type, a simple, modest but still beautiful dress.
Look at Calvin Klein and MaxMara dresses shown below. Very simple designs, no pleats, ruffles or embellishments, just pure sophistication.
Another good example of a little white dress is a nice plain dress with tiny prints or little embroidery: Alexander Wang and Diane Von Furstenberg. Despite the fact the dresses may seem too ordinary they look very elegant.
Rich floral embroidery adds femininity to the dress you wear. And florals are a hot trend for spring-summer 2009. Diane Von Furstenberg created nice pieces using this fabulous detail.
Badgley Mischka used much exquisite patterns in their dresses making them look womanly and a bit fairy. When paired with nice jewelry and a good bag such a dress will look superb.
Next example of a perfect LWD is the one with a puffy or richly ruffled skirt that always reminds me of a princess dress. For those who like short voluminous dresses Balmain’s dresses may be a good choice. They are made from luxurious materials and have an embroidery and crystal embellishment.
If you want something unusual or even extraordinary I can suggest you Alexander McQueen or Betsey Johnson’s dresses. I’m sure you’ll never find anyone else wearing such a piece.
The last few dresses I want to tell you about were created by Gianfranco Ferre and I love them the most. I like the silhouette, the form of the sleeve and the belt that emphasizes the waist. Looks very elegant and classy.
These are just a few examples of a little white dress that will soon become very popular not only among designers but also with fashionistas worldwide.
There are plenty of other designs and styles and you can surely find something that will make you the queen of the party!
