karl lagerfeld little black dress

We received a letter from a friend, asking what to wear to a rehearsal dinner in Chicago in October.  At What2WearWhere one of our favorite parts of any day is reading letters from our readers. Some of your notes move us, inspire us, and spark ideas.  

Dear Sue,  Since it is the rehearsal and not the wedding, it is perfectly acceptable to wear a great LBD, Little Black Dress. And why not?  Alway appropriate and always chic.   We went shopping at Diane von Furstenberg and found many fabulous examples of the genre.   Remember that most dresses need a little tweak at the tailor to maximize the fit and length.   Pair it with a pumps and  a clutch, then accessorize with a bit of fashion jewelry.”
