= The Little Black Dress =

The little black dress was intended as “an evening dress, cut simply and often quite short” ("Little"). It was also “intended to be long-lasting, versatile, affordable, accessible to the widest market possible and in a neutral color.” (Little). Since the making of the black dress Chanel became a legacy of design. She changed the way people looked at fashion and came up with a different ways of dressing that people weren’t used to. She called it the “boyish look”. The clothes changed from tight, heavy dresses to more comfortable, casual shorts and skirts. In the 1920’s ladies wore big, uncomfortable clothes. The black dress made it easy to wear anytime and anywhere. With time the dress would change due to the society.

It just changed by shape, cut and material it is still a black dress. But now with the change the dress has changed color also it keeps changing with time because the people change. The dress stays an important part of a women’s wardrobe. Who knew that just one dress could change fashion! It stuck till today many people are still inspired by her fashion. And that’s how we have some really weird but inspiring clothes! No matter which way the fashion industry decides to go the black dress “remains the height of chicness”(Nellis).
