It can be a nightmare.

In the case of  opera singer, Deborah Voigt, the LBD was a turning point in her life.

She got fired by Covent Garden for not fitting into the costume-

You guessed it…..

A Little Black Dress.

Humiliating.

She took her life in hand, and lost a phenomenal amount of weight, and by gum, she was invited back to Covent Garden, and wore the Little Black Dress.

She made a very tongue in cheek video about The Little Black Dress:

I hope that your experiences with your Little Black Dress are MUCH happier!

A couple of my designer friends will make sure that you do have a very happy time, indeed, with your Crocheted LBD!

Jill Hanratty’s gorgeous Little Black Dress is featured in the current issue of Crochet! magazine.

Thanks to Mary Jane and Jill, we can all sing the praises of the crocheted, perfect, Little Black Dress!
