We love how it is appropriate for almost any occasion and is an item which you can dress up or down depending on the situation.

With so many styles like: short, long, sleeveless, strapless or long-sleeve it is perfect for mums and your expanding tummy, no matter what the basic outline of the dress is, you can make it stylish by accessorizing.

Tips on how to make the LBD work for you:

1. Wrap a belt around your LBD at the smallest part of your waist or just above your baby bump.
2. Pair your LBD with a brightly coloured blazers such as solid colors and floral blazers, both work well with this look.
3. Pick one colour and use it everywhere with your little black dress. For example, put on a pair of bright blue heels and pick up the color with a bracelet or earrings and finish the look with a matching bag.
4. Add a pair of black high heels to create an elegant look for your LBD.
