Can't decide between the Chanel, the Collette Dinnigan, and the Juicy Couture for my favorite, but I guess you can't go wrong.

Ma belle Carrie. No comment about the LBD - just wanted to say that I really love your new blog illustrations. They really look very much at peace with the person I imagine you to be. Well done.
OK. I have to say something about the LBD's, I am not made of steel after all...Rue de Mail. Superb.
a bientot..
Beautiful, beautiful Dolce & Gabbana. :) I'm getting a D&G LBD soon! *is so excited* The one with a lace section down the front a put on my blog a while back, I believe you pictured it too. I just want to find shoes to go with. =D
The Fendi is also rather lovely indeed.

NOTINGS BETTER THAN A LITLE BLACK DRESS WITH A LITTLE EXTRA FLAIR OF PERSONALITY! LOVE MOST ALL OF THEM~!
holy moley...these are HOT! I'm loving all the options this winter...and with all the tights that you posted yesterday...I'm officially head over heels.
Fabulous-especially the Chanel. Still don't get the clogs though.
I love all the dresses!
A girl can never have enough little black dresses!!! lovely collection!
I have way too many of these, but I still can't get enough of them! However, the blue baseball cap and the red jacket is a styling twist I've never seen before...!
As always, an amazing collection of LBDs. I love the Fendi.
i could never own enough LBDs. i actually found a FABULOUS one at ... target tonight. yep!
Very little black dresses, indeed! I would definitely have to wear tights or leggings to feel comfortable in these but they are beautiful nonetheless!
Ok so I was going to say what dress was my favorite but man all of these are so hot. The little black mini - forever awesome!
H-O-T baby. I must admit my little black dress days are merely history.
Oooh u cant go wrong with the little black dress!! I luv all of these and the shoes are all stunning!!! I want!! I have given you something on my blog, check my latest post : )
J xx
Everyone needs at least one little black dress! Love your picks!
I love all the versions. I see little black dresses all the time and can you believe I don´t have a proper one?

i love little black dress! :D
I missed a few of your posts Carrie! It is finally, finally getting fall like around here, but I am so homesick and pining for my home town NYC!
As for your fab post with what entails when we wear a "little black dress" is mere chicness, sexiness and fabulousness... a little black dress is so chic that it is understated.
I guess I love the color black..
honestly, i kinda collect LBDs . i have "mini closet" of them . haha . from simple to formal ones for wedding party .. ahha ..
im currently finding the perfect slashed out LBDs and you happen you give perfect ideas for the slashed ones !
I love love love the very little black dress! I'm currently searching for the perfect one! Love the runways pictures, Carrie.
I love the LBD!
Xoxo

Love it! especially the ones with the cut outs, really cool
Amazing choices !
My fave is the Lanvin one !!
Yes! An item everyone should have! Love them. Great blog you have
That little black dress by Gucci is on my wishlist :)
Love all the unusual takes on the classic LBD! Keeps it fresh and interesting :) x
I love short dresses! I can never have too many :D
so chic, these are fab
Ooooh. LBDs. I love them. The more the merrier I say :)
And my faves: the Balmain, the Elie Saab, Emanuel Ungaro, Rue du Mail.
Thank you for sharing. I'm inspired :D
SUCH a classic and knockout piece in everyone's closet

black dress- essential, very little- so sexy :) love them all, although the one with broad shoulder seems to be my favourite now
love them all! especially the ones with cutouts
I guess it's time for me to whip out my too-short vintage Leger again: http://wendybrandes.com/blog/2007/11/dressing-for-all-kings-men/
Awesome post CC! Such a classic staple that never gets old. My favourites are the first Balmain for its sheer badassedness, and the Tommy Hilfiger for its sophisticated minimalism.
I fancy the Dolce & Gabbana one, something so flawless about it :D must be the shape but not only ! Love
So sexy !!
