There’s a reason the little black dress (LBD) is a wardrobe essential for every woman. It’s the epitome of timeless style, and at Scout & Molly’s Boutique Southlake, we’re excited to offer you an exquisite selection of LBDs that cater to your every fashion need.

The History of the Little Black Dress

The little black dress is more than just an item of clothing; it’s a true fashion statement. Its roots trace back to the Victorian era when it symbolized mourning. Even Queen Victoria herself wore it for 40 years following the death of her husband, Prince Albert.

But it was Coco Chanel who transformed the LBD into the fashion icon we know today. She gave it a more feminine touch with a straight-cut, bateau neckline, and a relaxed fit. The 1920s and ’30s saw the LBD gaining popularity, and then in 1961, Audrey Hepburn donned an iconic black dress in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” solidifying its place in history.

The little black dress has proven itself to be versatile and adaptable, fitting both conservative and sexy styles, making it a staple in any woman’s wardrobe.
