Hey ladies!!! Well I am looking for a little black dress for the two weddings that are coming up, so i found some styles that me likey!!! the first one is bebe the rest are from nordstrom.
Before you choose one, keep in mind:

I am short -only 5'1 (hopefully around 5'5 with heels) & 120 pounds.

I am planning to have silver accessories, like silver shoes, purse, jewelery etc. Any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks for helping me pick ladies.

my personal favourite is the third one, but maybe its a bit over the top with the bow for a wedding? the first one is nice too, especially because it has a high waist and doesnt go as low as the other ones, which gives the illusion of longer legs, always useful when you are short.

Charmaine, thanks! I love it too, i just have to find a nearby store (bebe is so rare). There are 5 pictures actually, you can't see the rest?
Cottoncandy, I like that dress, i am wondering if the bow is removable? its too big for someone so short as me.
thanks ladies!!!

I'd go with the first one, it's just gorgeous! Make sure though it will fall above, at or slightly below your knee; to give the illusion of longer legs, and don't forget high heels

As for accesories, I'd go with black shoes without an ankle strap - again creating an illusion of longer legs.
Other accessories would look awesome in silver - necklace in the same style as the model's ; earrings any style you like or rahter that goes with your face shape. Oh, and keep the purse simple and small.

HTH!

Lavender thanks for choosing!!!

You're welcome! Glad I could help

I like the first 2 ones best

***mintesa*** · 03-07-2006, 10:03 AM

i only like the first two. the last dress is neither long nor short. the one with the bow, is too bowy. the other one is not impressive. but the first two are sexy and stylish.

i think i would only use pearl earrings, or only use earings with those. That deep V neck doesnt really need a necklace.

dont forget to post a picture while you are wearing it

The second one is my favorite.

***bunni*** · 03-07-2006, 10:16 AM

sweet! seems to me that the first two (similar style) are the hot picks. I love them too.

Pearly earrings, like a white color, short pearl earrings is not a bad idea at all, I will try everything that was suggested pick the best and definetely post pics!

I have been searching for a lil black dress for a while and it seems that that strapless with a bow and the first one are really in style. Even target has imitated them, a lot of stores did.

I'm a little late but I like the 1st and 3rd, but the 1st is more classic and will last a longer while than the 3rd.

i like the 2nd one

***SqueeKee*** · 03-07-2006, 11:02 AM

I like the first one

It's actually very similar in style and in color to my bridesmaid's dresses
