My Favorite Holiday Dress

11/07/14 | Fashion and Style, Fashion Friday, Holiday Style, My Outfits

Favorite Holiday Dress - Black Silk Dress with Black Strapless Bra

In my opinion, as soon as Halloween is over it is full speed ahead with the Christmas season and holiday parties are one of my favorite things about this type of year. Before Rent the Runway I used to pick up half a dozen dresses per season for work parties, swim parties, family parties, and Christmas itself but it really does add up.  This black silk dress my mom and I got together in 2008 and it has been one of the best long-term purchases I have ever made. I love the detailing at the neck, the ruching on the front, and the fact that it is black and goes with everything! There is only one problem – what to wear under a slinky dress with a low back.  For the last handful of years I have tried almost everything imaginable and finally I have found a solution! 

I received the Super Skinny Backless & Demi Bra from Almost Skin and it is the perfect solution for this black silk dress. I have tried a similar product in the past which was fine but in flash photography when the bra is nude and the dress is black … yeah, you get the picture.   I was so excited to try this bra on in bright flash and see that we were all good!  My favorite holiday dress has founds its’ perfect partner in this reusable adhesive bra! Paired with dark lips, dainty earrings, and a large cocktail ring I am good to go for any party this season!

I am so exited about this bra that I am actually excited for it to get cold so I can wear this dress!

    Awesome investment! I purchased something similar from Victoria Secrets, but don’t like it that much. It still looks bulky.

    I LOVE backless dresses, but they can be tricky to fit. They have to be juuust perfect! This one is beautiful.
