Little black dress for Weddings

Alittle black dressis acocktailorevening dress, cut simply and often quite short.Fashion historiansascribe the origins of the little black dress to the 1920s designs ofCoco Chanel, intended to be long-lasting, versatile, affordable, accessible to the widest market possible and in a neutral color. Its ubiquity is such that it is often simply referred to as the "LBD"

For most weddings, a little black dress works just fine. Now, find a LBD that fits your body type perfectly.

Bottom heavy figure

The easiest way to balance a bottom-heavy figure is to choose a little black dress that skims over the lower half of the body. Fuller skirts, like this Monique Lhuilllier dress, disguise heavy hips, while showing off the waist. A fitted halter or strapless silhouette -- which accents a trim upper body -- is very flattering for bottom-heavy figures.

Flabby arms

Don't worry: you don't have to look matronly to cover up flabby arms. The trick is to keep the sexy element with embellishment or peekaboo cutouts on the little black dress. This long-sleeve dress covers up, but has plenty of sex appeal thanks to lace sleeves.

Petite

The perfect little black dress for a smaller frame elongates and flatters like this three-quarter sleeve Donna Morgan dress with ruffle trim. More flattery: look for a dress with a lot of shape -- here it has horizontal seaming -- and is scaled just right for your figure. Avoid too-cutesy looks (like puffed sleeves or giant bows) so you won't look little girlish.

Plus size

Just because your figure has curves doesn't mean you can't enjoy a pretty little black dress. Show some skin and enjoy the flattering capabilities of a sheath dress like this plus size little black dress.

Unattractive legs

Don't want to show off your legs? You can still look gorgeous in a little black dress, instead of hiding your legs in pants. Try wearing a longer skirt (midcalf or longer) like this Suzi Chin Maggy Boutique dress.

Wide shoulders

You don't need to hide your upper body in a little black dress if you have wide shoulders. Instead, look for body-balancing details like the trendy asymmetrical neckline, like this one-shoulder style. Avoid puffy sleeves or voluminous tops paired with slim bottoms that will exaggerate your shoulder width.

Thick waist

Disguise a thick waist in a little black dress by either raising, lowering or eliminating the waistline. This dress works by suggesting -- but not clearly defining -- the waist. A drop-waist dress, which hits somewhere around the hipbones, or empire waist dresses which have a raised waist are other good choices.

Full bust

Balance a top-heavy figure in a little black dress by opting for the most flattering necklines for the full bust: the V-neck, square neck, wrap or portrait style like this Maggy London dress. Look for fabrics that skim (jersey is good), but aren't clingy or too stiff. Also, avoid ornate necklines, embellished bodices and blouson styles.

Small bust

Most clothing actually hangs better on women with smaller busts, but if you want to add more volume up top look for embellishment or fullness on the bust. This dress has pleating on the bust that give it volume, plus a defined waist which flatters the upper body.

Too thin

If your body lacks natural curves, add feminine presence with fullness like with this draped Gap dress you can also pump up the volume with extra details like full sleeves, ruched waist, layers and ruffles.
