    LBDs for Coco Chanel's HBD

    Coco Chanel designed elegant yet unfussy clothing, and she’s credited with the now-classic little black dress. It’s difficult to imagine now, but the simplicity and the color were both quite unexpected in the 1920s when the LBD was new.

    Celebrating Chanel’s August 19 birthday, VFG members parade their best LBDs by all makers and from all eras.

    That's lovely! I love Grace Taylor dresses! I have a black one that needs repair, but have had a couple of others over the years that I've sold.

    Thank you, Anne. I tried to show how pretty the beaded neckline is on this LBD!

    Is it too late to throw in this 1960's (I think) Pauline Trigere LBD in my collection?

    Ooo, the pink! Julie Ann, I thought your pearl-beaded dress looked familiar—Mine was missing a few beads but yours looks perfect!
