The Old Little Black Dress: How to bring it back to life

Monday, October 26, 2015

     The little black dress is that one article of clothing that every woman’s closet should have. It’s versatile, classy, and can be worn in just about any type of event. But if your little black dress has that feel of being too old-fashioned, or too worn, don’t just throw it out and buy a new one. Here are 3 quick tips to bring that old little black dress back to life.
The Old Little Black Dress: How to bring it back to life
1. Use trendy accessories.

     Unless you’ve been living under a rock all this time, you’d surely have noticed just what types of accessories are popular at the moment. One way of breathing new life into an old black dress without having to pull it apart just yet is by simply changing up the accessories that you’ve always worn with it. Use a pearl-studded belt, pin a brooch, or wear layered necklaces to put out a different vibe. You can also visit Teeda.com for the latest jewelry styles.

2. Embellish the collar/waist/hemline.

     Pearls of different sizes can be sewn onto the collar of the dress to create a textured look. If your dress doesn’t have a collar, then you can simply put one on (one that has its own embellishments like sequins, buttons, or beads). Or you can use iron-on rhinestones and add them to the waistline to bring some sparkle back to the middle part of the dress. But if you’d rather keep the top part of the dress as it is, another way of reviving it is to just add a ribbon to the hemline of the dress. Whatever kind of embellishment you prefer to do, it would surely put a little zing back to the old black ensemble.

3. Sew on an old gold necklace.

     If you’ve got an old gold necklace lying around from days when chunky gold necklaces were a thing, then try sewing it on the neckline of your LBD. Instant glam, instant accessory. But if gold isn’t doing it for you, try sewing on some silver chains instead. You can get silver chains for less from an online wholesale silver jewelry retailer. Arrange them in varying lengths along the neckline, and see your dress sparkle with new life.

     There certainly are quite a number of ways to reinvent an old outfit. But if you feel like your little black dress has become too familiar to people around you, just don’t wear it until a year or two after - by then, it may need a new revamping session. Have fun!
