Hi there

We need help from an experienced dress designer to come up with around 22 timeless little black dress designs that will fit and flatter the following:

1. Horizontal body shapes: apple, pear, inverted triangle, hourglass and rectangle 2. Long torso, balanced and short torso (variations) 3. Petite, normal, tall!

The LBD should be suitable for: Work, casual, evening cocktail, job interviews, funerals, first dates. Depending how one dresses it up or down!

Please categorise the suggested design/ into categories mentioned above.

Key features: 1. Most be slightly above knee length. Few midis and maxi (for cultural reasons or religious) 2. Must have an option for long sleeve, short sleeves, elbow or sleeveless 3. Must look elegant and classic 4. We should have a structured option and flowy/draped option 5. For structured I prefer the finishes that Carla Zampatti has - rayon / crepe

For drapes I like Etro - Crepe de Chine see this link

6. Minimal, modern and pockets! For iPhones and keys. 7. Practical in design Aline’s fit most body types as well as wrap dresses. There should be a wrap dress that’s chic and structured (see the row attached) and a wrap dress that’s romantic and flowy/draped (see etro)

Structured wrap dress:

Please remember the rule of thirds too. If long sleeve we prefer shorted hems etc.

It is a very specific job & your design should be able to cover most of the body type variations above!
