Melbourne Spring Fashion Week recently showcased an exhibition “The Spirit Of The Little Black Dress”. Showcasing the talents of Australian designers, the exhibition also paid homage to the versatile little garment we call the little black dress.
It also made me think of how he little black dress has started to creep into bridesmaid fashion. When it was once considered a faux pas to wear black as a bridesmaid, black provides more options and more versatility for your maids. If you’re worried the look may be too dark, pair it with something bright – bright flowers, amazing shoes or fabulous jewels.

These are brilliant. Black dresses whether bridal or bridesmainds are so chic and elegant. They’re very timeless and classic and I love the photo of the brightly coloured shoes – good way to modernise and inject a bit of fun.
I was tickled to see one of my wedding photos included in this post (and yes, I’m still reading, although I admit to just skimming as I now have pregnancy/motherhood blogs on my plate along with all of my favorite wedding ones!)
I was just a bridesmaid inside a wedding this past August and my friend the bride had us put on black dresses to ensure that we could reuse them later. It was quite wise and considerate of her, however I don’t have numerous possibilities to wear a satin dress. Nice post, thanks.
These black dresses are very elegant. It’s so smart to wear a black dress for a wedding. I love evening black dresses.
When skmeone writes an article he/she keeps the idea of a user in his/her brain that how

Thanks!
