The Little Black Dress is Back!

Let the record show that North Shore women know how to rock a trend.

At a recent Lake Forest wedding, the little black dress was “the” dress of choice. And according to Ken Downing, senior vice president and fashion director for Neiman Marcus, if you’re going to spend money on one item to spice up your wardrobe this fall, let it be on a great black dress.

“There’s nothing ‘little’ about this season’s black dress. Asymmetrical details and sculptural cuts, the black dress makes a major statement for fall,” Downing says.

A major statement, indeed. Way to go ladies!
