The little black dress (LBD) is a standard in evening wear. Here are 16 of the skimpiest from the spring and summer of 2018 at different price points.
An LBD has to be small, black and a dress. Otherwise it just wouldn’t make sense to call it that. The simple yet glamorous dress can be worn in many different ways and almost never goes out of style. It was only recently that the phrase was abbreviated into an acronym.
Some of the best LBD’s from the spring and summer of 2018 lay before you. Each one was selected by Slutty Raver Costumes. Click the links to learn more about each product.
