Little Black Mini Dress

From LoveToKnow Womens-Fashion

A little black mini dress, no matter where you wear it, is guaranteed to cause quite a stir!

An Attention-Getting Style

Wearing a little black mini dress is almost certain to get attention. Why? For the most part, it’s because these dresses, thanks in large part to their shortened hem lines, are incredibly sexy.

When one considers that some of these looks also contain sheer fabric on the arms, or glitter, well, then the "sexy" quotient goes up even higher. We all want to look appropriately seductive, but may not know how to pull it off. Here are some tips that may help:

How to Tone It Down

If you want to wear a little black mini dress, but fear that it might look too sexy, tone the look down by:

  • Wearing Flat Shoes: Pairing this mini dress with flats tones down the sexiness of the dress because it tricks the eye into thinking that the hemline is actually longer than it really is.
  • Try Sleeves: Another great way to make the dress a little more sedate is to buy a mini that has sleeves. This plays off of the fashion rule that says one should one expose only one body part at a time.

In other words, if you are planning on showing off miles of sexy legs, then it’s best to keep other portions, like that of the bust line, under wraps. Wearing a dress with sleeves, even if they are sheer, would strike a great balance.

  • Pair it with a Wrap: If the dress you are planning on wearing is both sleeveless and short, then pair it with a wrap. This way, when you feel comfortable, you can take the wrap off, and just the opposite is true if you’d like to feel a bit more covered up.

To Make It Sexier

While it’s true that a little black mini dress doesn’t need much to appear sexy, here are some different ways to help ramp up the look:

  • Add Heels: Adding heels will most certainly help to make the dress even sexier!
  • Sleeveless, Short, Deep-V: Nothing is sexier than a dress that is sleeveless, short and contains a deep V-neckline, but be forewarned! Put together, especially if paired with heels, this dress may be too hot to handle.

Best Places to Wear a Little Black Mini Dress

We can all probably agree that a little mini dress may be more appropriate at some functions than at others. Places where it’s best to avoid this look include:

  • Work: In terms of work, it may be best to avoid this look, especially for everyday wear. When it comes to Christmas parties and the like, wearing this dress will have to be a personal call.
  • Meeting In-Laws: If you are meeting your in-laws for the first time, or a partner’s parents, it may be best to avoid this look until a festive party rolls around.
  • Religious Functions: Of course, it depends on your personal preference and the type of function, but a little dress like this may not be the most appropriate article of clothing to wear.

Having said that, there are plenty of places where this dress is perfectly appropriate. Cocktail parties, a special date night, and a special occasion party are all great places to debut your spectacular new dress.

Where to Shop

When it comes to shopping for your new dress, try some of the following sites:

  • Macy’s: Macy’s is offering a Baby Phat Goddess mini dress, in black, that is stunning and elegant. The neckline is scooped, while the sides of the dress are slightly ruched for a nipped-in finish. Available for $74.
  • Victoria’s Secret: You’ll love the dresses available at Victoria’s Secret because almost all of them are sexy, but appropriate, for a variety of venues. Find these dresses by visiting the site and then clicking under the heading Sexy Dresses.
  • Bluefly: The dresses available at Bluefly are a bit more upscale (think Dolce & Gabbana), and they are also a little more expensive (over $100), but they are no less stunning.

Putting It All Together

The bottom line with this sexy dress is that wearing it will make you feel incredibly feminine, desirable, and you are sure to get a lot of attention! Whether you want to take the dress into the stratosphere by pairing it with heels, or you want to tone it down by pairing it with a wrap, the choice is yours. However, either way doesn’t really matter - you’ll still be wearing one hot item, and looking it!
