LBD on Little

My sister and I are bridesmaids in my brother's upcoming wedding, and we're wearing classic little black dresses (lbd) down the aisle. I've got about five black dresses, but my sister has none. She recently lost 40 pounds and is on her way to losing more, so she doesn't want to invest in a pricey piece.

I've researched some great lbds to fit your budget, all less than $200. They're great go-to pieces for a night out, a cocktail or work party or - as in our case - an alternative to a traditional bridesmaid's dress.

Based on her body type, style and budget, for my sister I recommend the Target crossover v-neck dress.

Old Navy Tie Front Wrap dress ($36.50); Target Crossover V-neck dress ($40); Kohls Shirred Empire dress ($48); Lucie Liu Honor dress ($52); Banana Republic wrap dress ($98), Eliza Parker Miami dress ($129); IGIGI Venice dress ($169).
