Timeless little black dress was introduced by the Chanel brand

The long blue evening gown has sparkly thin shoulder straps that criss cross the open back before lacing up for the perfect fit, while the long mermaid skirt hugs the hips before opening in a side slit

The sumptuous satin fabric catches the light beautifully as you move, whilst the clever pleating across the front creates a figure-enhancing drape that works wonderfully for curves

A gown with a fitted natural-waist bodice usually works better than one that is fitted all the way through the hip

Details: Velvet-look bodice, irregular draping and layered black mesh hem

Think: Flowy wrap midis that elongate your frame, smocked-waist styles that define your shape and casual T-shirt styles that you can throw on with sneakers and be out the door in minutes
