Every woman needs a Little Black Dress, just as every woman needs a copy of the Little Black Dress book. Packed with tips on style, fashion and flair, as well as useful facts, interesting details and fitting quotes, this book explains how to look neat and fashionable at all times, whether at a cocktail party or collecting the children on the school run. The author wisely points out that you should never be tempted to throw on the first things that come to hand just because you're popping out for some milk - what happens if you meet a friend, or worse, an ex-boyfriend, and you look like something the cat brought in? Despite the title, this covers all types of clothes, from skirts and blouses to jumpers and jeans, and even includes tips on undergarments. Accessories are important - a basic string of beads works well with most daytime getups, while the classic court shoe will complement almost any outfit. Incidentally, did you know that Elizabeth Taylor mislaid her diamond and ruby necklace, set with the fabulous `La Peregrina' pearl once owned by Mary Tudor, only to discover her puppy chewing on it? That's just one of the intriguing asides in this super little book. By following the author's advice we can be sure of making a good impression rather than a fashion faux-pas.
