Weekly Editor's Top 10 - Little Black Dresses

Whether it be a company endorsed function or a personal party for the holiday's, a gorgeous look is of utmost importance. Therefore, this week, we're focused on finding 10 black dresses (for versatility's sake) that will help you make your grand entrance of the night.

A few things to keep in mind when choosing your dress:

Appropriateness - Recognize levels of appropriateness when choosing your dress. For the workplace scenario, opt for a dress that is not over the top, but does not stifle your individuality. No excessive cleavage, or legs, etc.
Fit and Comfort - Parties mean dancing or at least an occasional hoopla, so make sure you feel comfortable in your dress, meaning, no tugging, etc. Choose a dress that you can readily move in. If you're wearing a strapless dress, there are ways to keep your dress up. Try Hollywood Fashion Tape.

A few trends to look out for so you look trendy and chic:

Ruffles - Originally introduced during the Victorian era, ruffles are the new fashion statement.
Lace - If your style begs more femininity, then the delicate and ladylike nature of lace would appeal to you.
Embellishment - Details never go unnoticed.
Sparkle - Glitz has always been the best way to glamorize.
