The origins of the little black dress date back to the 1920s designs of Coco Chanel. It was intended to be long-lasting, versatile, affordable and accessible to the widest market possible. Many stylists say "the little black dress" should be in every woman's closet. It should be a dress that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. The stores at the Arboretum of South Barrington (shopthearboretumsb.com/) recently showcased several options from their line-up of stores.
