LBD

The social changes in urban Indian society after freedom over the years and the world exposure through internet and other platforms have changed the way women  lived their life. The freedom women now enjoys in every sphere of life is an achievement of the struggles, they have gone through ages.This generation has been the most emancipated.

In 1970s and  1980s, the most common and appreciated dress for Indian women was salwar kameez, saris and jeans-top in metropolies. In smaller towns, it was mainly the salwar kameez, churidaar pyjama or saris. Young girls were experimenting with frocks, skirts and little black dress.  LBD was popular mainly at places, where western exposure is available. I have lived in university campus, where international faculties were  living on campus. I had the exposure to LBD.

LBD was the abbreviation for little black dress and was promoted as a dress for young and thin girls way back in early 1900 years in USA and European countries.

LBD is actually for any woman who is young at heart! 

Long black dress when abbreviated is also LBD. This is for the women who have grown up and LBD was part of their growing up years. With years, they have added experiences and fat too. Why should they miss the fun of having an LBD in their wardrobe again?

Its a must in every women's wardrobe irrespective of her age , size and figure. Its all about the attitude to carry an LBD.


Black color is very versatile and can be paired  with any colour to create a new effect. A simple jacket with kutchi hand embroidery has created a very different look as compared to the red and grey shrugs. Combining the LBD with a net jacket creates a party dress.
Have a look at my experiments with LBD!  And have fun creating your own style!
