I love black dresses....and you never can go wrong with a good black dress...Such much choice and the one I love is Tadashi Shoji:) Stunning:)
ReplyDeleteKisses my dear!
great black outfits looks cool lovely collection i like all black outfits
ReplyDeleteI love the first one! And several of the others are quite nice too...
ReplyDeleteI am pretty much in love with all of them... except for the one with the circle detail at the waist. I have less love for that one. It looks a little night-gown-ish. I wish I had a closet full of black dresses!!
ReplyDeleteI love Tadashi Shoji's designs <3
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome post because we all buy a black gown at some point. Lately I am loving the one-shoulder gowns. Your selections are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

How can one concept look so different? A black dress is a must in a womans wardrobe. I have some myself but few long ones...!

I am mad for black in the days of Summer, when the sun is coming on strong. It reminds me of the Greek islands where the shadows are long.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many favorites that I just couldn't pick one! The lacey ones are so feminine and yet others are so sexy. I love it! Black makes you think of Audrey Hepburn doesn't it?!
