The Little Black Dress: 7 LBDs under $35

The little black dress (LBD) is a staple is every girl’s closet. But, we all need new LBDs once in a while and now’s the time to think about getting your new dresses together. I’ve scoured some of the best affordable sites to help you find the perfect LBD for your body and lifestyle. 

***And since I love value shopping, these dresses are organized by price.***





You’ll be undeniably sexy in this LBD. The cowl draped neckline balances out the cinched waist to showcase your hourglass frame. Jersey knit and a wrapped skirt design keeps you comfortable as the sheer leopard printed mesh bodice inset teases onlookers. 






Sateen (and satin) dresses are the most figure-flattering. They skim over your trouble spots and make your butt look better than it’s ever looked before. This strapless number compliments your bust with a sweetheart neckline. Its horizontal bandage seems will highlight and create cures. Wear it with lace up booties for edge. Try pumps to elongate your legs. 


3.Textured Knit Body Con Dress $28.99

My favorite dress! (It reminds me of the bra style I love. Shhh!) 
Tight crinkle texture, sheen, and a bold v-neck put this dress in its own category. Bearing just a hint of cleavage gives you an almost unfair advantage over every other girl. Bonus points: the tank straps allow you to wear your favorite plunge style bra.  

Keep accessories simple. The drama is all in your bust so don’t overdo your accessories. Let your hot body and sexy styled hair take center stage.




4. Anticipates $30.80

Even though the straight neckline looks like it’s doing wonders for your bust, it’s working with your hips to shape you into the perfect hourglass. Widening the bust automatically shrinks your waist and balances out your lustrous hips. Sheer lace in the back adds individualism, not you’ll need anything else to make your hourglass, figure-8-shape stand out.




5. Ideal Retreat $31.80


Achieving the perfect sparkle and shine just got easier. GreatGlam’s Ideal Retreat dress boasts a stunning sequin and bead applique that elongates your body and boosts the natural sparkle in your smile. To keep things from getting dull the dress has a crinkle texture overlay and is fully lined, so it’s safe to take as many pictures as you want.

Even though you can have fun adding arm bands and bangles to this dress, I don’t recommend it. Be careful about adding jewelry that might snag the dress’ material. Instead, go wild with your make-up!

6. Anticipation $32.80





Okay, this dress isn’t really black. It’s dark grey, but it’ll offer you the same benefits of an LBD.  The one shoulder mini dress transforms you into the goddess you are. The extra ruffle detail slides from your shoulder down to your hemline, creating texture and adding oomph other straight-sleek dress don’t have.







Calling all confident ladies! If you’ve been hitting the gym, reward you hardworking backside with this dress. The twisted sheer back forms a knot at the waist to create the illusion of an hourglass shape. The scoop just above the butt teases onlookers and shows off what you’ve got. The front is a bit plain so add as many love necklaces you can.
