LBDs for little ladies

As all grown up women know, the LBD (little black dress) is the secret weapon in every wardrobe. We can pull it out whenever we need something a little nicer than a pair of jeans and we can dress it up or down depending on the occasion. And now, so can our children.

After discovering the website Little Little Black Dress Shop, it turns out it's never too early to invest in an LBD. It's stocked with mini black frocks from our fave children's designers, including Ses Petites Mains, Velvet & Tweed (their tier dress shown here) and Maria Casero, plenty of them exclusive to the shop.

There are more than enough styles to accommodate your little lady's finicky tastes up to a size 8 in many designs. I love the long-sleeve T-shirt dress with ruffle trim from Llum (wish it came in my size) and the Kicky Pants bamboo ruffle dress.

If you're in the market for something besides a LLBD, then browse their selection of adorable Mary Janes from See Kai Run or the sweet pedant necklaces. Because girls can not live on little black dresses alone. -Melissa
