What should I wear tonight...hmmmm? We have the answer!

The Little Black Dress (LBD) is like the holy grail of fashion. We never stop looking for it. And once we have found it, it seems like all our questions have been answered - clothing wise at least.  I think we have found the ultimate LBD for everyone!

It goes by different names, and you might have heard of it before:
- Infinite/Infinity Dress
- Convertible Dress
- 100 Way Dress


Looks like nothing special, right?  But then check this out:

AMAZING!  The idea is that the straps can be tied in various ways to create different looks. And variations of this dress can be made with different skirt shapes, placement of the straps, color, fabrics...etc.  The concept is pretty simple. It's a simple skirt attached to 2 very long straps that can tied anyway you like!

The dress is sold by various designers, and with this dress, you never have to worry about what your going to wear for your next event!  You'll never have to worry about someone wearing the same dress:  just go to the restroom, modify the straps, and within seconds, you'll have a brand new look!

Here's some other samples:

Purchase at The Infinite Dress

If you can afford the price tag, this Donna Karan can be purchased from places that carry Donna Karan. This variation has more of a Sheath dress look that is understated, but flattering at the same time.

OR, if you can't afford the price tag, and have a little sewing machine know-how, here's a tutorial that teaches you how to make the dress (which is surprisingly simple!).

 Find out how at: Rostichery

Prices range from a couple of dollars (if you make is yourself) to close to $1,000 for the Donna Karen version.

TIP: Use this dress as a Bridesmaid dress. This dress will fit and flatter everyone, and they'll all be unique and different, but be uniform at the same time. And it's a dress that a Bridesmaid can actually wear again. (If you ever seen 27 dresses with Katherine Heigel, you'll know what I mean...)
