The Little Black Dress

Today’s post is inspired by my purchase of a great comfy black vintage dress from Spear Me! It got me to thinking that every women no matter what her size, shape or budget should own a great black dress. (Because we all look good in them!)

So I have picked three of my favorite vintage dresses for each category $30 and Under, $60 and Under, $100 and Under and $100 and Over so there is a dress for budget.

$30 and Under

This great little black dress from Elena Maria Vintage will have you up and dancing for a small price of $18! I love the full skirt on this dress it really makes me want to get up and do the salsa.

This classic 60’s Vintage Chic Black Silk Shantung Sheath Dress is stunning with a black belt and shoes OR dress it up with a funky red pump and belt! For only $21 from Denise Brain Vintage you can’t go wrong.

I love this sassy Velvet Off-The-Shoulder Swing from Vzmoda 35 and at only $20 its a steal!

$60 and Under

This Little Black Bandage Velvet Ruffle Mini Party Dress is perfect for the every day or dress it up for a date or a night out with the ladies. For only $34.99 you really can not get much better from Dress Fire Gypsy Vintage.

I know I have used this dress for treasuries on Etsy but I am in love with this Black Sequins Dress from Tialey Vintage. You will be the center of attention anywhere you go with this great dress and for only $56 that is a small price to pay!

Elegance for a small price of $42 that is all I have to say about this amazing 70s Vintage ‘STOLEN KISSES AT MIDNIGHT’ Black Sheer Party from Dress Astral Boutique.

$100 and Under

I found a fellow Quebecois at Garconniere and she has some beautiful things in her shop. This amazing little black fashion dress with lovely black velvet detailing and pockets (my weakness!) You don’t have to break the bank to own this dress at only $90.

When I stumbled along this amazing 1950’s Little Black Wiggle Dress with beaded bodice of black pearl like beads and rhinestones I had to take a moment to remind myself to breath! So classy and elegant but yet fun and flirty. This amazing dress can be yours for only $100 (FREE Shipping within the USA!) from Bad Girl Vintage.

This is one sexy black party dress from Love Me Deux Vintage with it’s plunging neckline, racer back with slit, ruched empire waist and cascading asymmetrical skirt! Get your sexy on for only $99.99 (FREE shipping within the USA)

Over $100

Now this dress from 13 Bees is a bit out of my price range right now but I feel in love with the back of this dress! It is so simple but elegant (I envision the back of my wedding dress to be like this!) For $158 you will have this dress forever and love and cherish it.

I could not pass up this 1950’s black crushed velvet creamy white fur dress. It will make you feel like you are in the 1954 movie White Christmas. For a little bundle of $125 you can pick up this amazing dress from La Meow Vintage.

Last but most definitely not least a beautiful vintage inky black party dress from Dear Golden Vintage. With voluminous built-in crinoline, pretty black beaded detail on collar, bodice and skirt and very full skirt. For $245 this vintage piece should stay in your family and pass it down to generations to come.

Now if you have not had a look at Lauren shop it is a MUST!  Lauren is a gem and has an eye for all things beautiful and vintage.  Her shop has been a huge encouragement to me as starting up in selling vintage.

Don’t forget The House Of Hearts is giving you 15% OFF the featured items in my shop for the month of December! Hope you all have an amazing weekend :)
