Betty Barclay Little Black Dress, Size S to M

A classic black pencil dress with a square neckline and cap sleeves. This specific style is reminiscent of the "little black dress" popularized in the mid-20th century. The dress has a timeless, sophisticated appeal often associated with 1950s and 1960s fashion.

The "little black dress" concept was introduced by Coco Chanel in 1926. This style of dress is most associated with;

  • Audrey Hepburn: She famously wore a simple black Givenchy sheath dress in the opening scene of the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's, which became one of the most iconic LBDs of all time.

  • Marilyn Monroe & Grace Kelly: These style icons also favoured the form-fitting pencil dress silhouette in the 1950s, which was seen as both sexy and sophisticated.

Brand information: Betty Barclay brand's history began in Mannheim, Germany, in 1938, and the first Betty Barclay collection was launched in Europe in 1955 after the license was acquired by Max Berk.
