In fashion circles LBD means little black dress; we've decided to update the acronym with a new twist: lovely blue dress. Blue is the color of a Robin's egg, the beautiful sea, and your new dress. Black is versatile and a go to color, but blue gives you the opportunity to stand out in a sea of little black dresses.
The Blue Dress

The Jonie Bubble Dress is a hot little number that is sure to sparkle. The rosettes at the neckline are simple, yet add essential embellishment to this dress. The bubble hem is short, but this makes this dress easy to layer. Pair with tights or soft layering sweater for a great winter night look.
This silk yoke dress is striking! The brocade fabric is daring, which means you can go easy on necklaces, and possibly have smoky eyes and sparkling eyelids instead. This is a great look for ladies who don't want to bare all, and desire a sophisticated look.
The Freda gathered waist dress is another modest fashion option. The gathered waist is reminiscent of a wrap dress. This is a great style for all shapes. The plunging neckline begs for eye catching jewelry. If you're uncomfortable showing cleavage, simply wear a contrasting silk camisole.
French Connection's Fast Princess Wonder dress is lined in black to offer a nice contrast and give you the best of both worlds: Little Black and Blue Dress!
