The Little black dress

The little black dress is every girls most important tool.  Where other outfits fail, the little black will never let you down, we always know we are looking hot, delicious and desirable!

We’ve put together our top tips on choosing your essential Little Black Dress – and remember to check out our exclusive black lace sleeved dress in the shop

Always choose the right neckline for your frame

The Halter Neck A dress with a halter neck will tend to enhance shoulders, this can be balanced if worn with a sheer scarf draped over the shoulders and / or long gloves
Dipped Neckline A softer, dipped neckline or a slighter deeper, curved neckline on a sleeved dress will balance the shape and give a more even sillouette. For a classy look choose a dress with stretch lace or mesh sleeves, this way you get the figure balance and also have that added sexy chic to your look.
High Neckline For a real diva look choose a dress with a high neckline but avoid this if you have a short neck. Choose high neck dresses with sleeves and individual detail for balance. You can check out our high necked velvet dress in the shop (also available in Black!)

Choosing the right length dress for your look

Short does not always have to mean tarty but if your after classy and short head for something that falls between the knee and mid thigh – REMEMBER you must allow for sitting down, unless you want everyone in the restaurant to see your knickers!

If you’re looking for a long dress then make sure you choose the right length and ALLOW for heels.
Theres nothing more dissapointing than a long dress which ends up sitting mid calf!

If your blessed with height then perhaps think about getting your dress made to measure – Hot Candys offer this service on all of our own exclusive range of clothes!

Practice makes perfect!

So banish that myth that some of us were just born with style – its simply practice and knowing which shapes and styles work for you.
Its about showing off all those hottie bits and hiding all those nottie bits!!

After many years of working in the fashion industry in London I have seen many a fashion disaster.  Looking good does not necessarily mean following high fashion its about showing off what you love and hiding what you loathe

Once you know you are looking good and feeling gorgeous your confidence will simply soar.

After all isn’t every girl just deadly in that Little Black Dress?
