Look for Less: The Black Lace Dress

by cheapchica11 on January 20, 2011

I’m so excited to introduce our newest contributor, Rebecca from one of my favorite blogs, Young Sophisticates!  If you love anything and everything romantic, classic, and sophisticated as it relates to fashion/style, you must check out here site and look for her monthly “Look for Less” posts…here’s her first one:

Young Hollywood has a new favorite trend: black lace dresses. Taylor Swift (in a drop dead gorgeous Jenny Packham) and a pair of stylish Emma’s (Watson and Roberts) have recently been spotted wearing short black lace dresses on the red carpet. This look is so chic when done right. It’s such a great look, but it’s hard to find a fabulous black lace dress without spending a bundle. A lot of times cheaper lace pieces can look downright tacky – you don’t want to look like a former contestant on Rock of Love, ever. Consider this style problem solved – CheapChica’s is on the case.

Now, you can look like a million bucks with your own sophisticated black lace dress without spending a fortune.  With any of these black lace dresses, you will look classy and sultry all at the same time!

For a look similar to Taylor Swift’s tasteful lace dress, try this stunner from ASOS for less than $80

or why not test drive a sexy, chic asymmetrical lace dress a la Emma Roberts with this one shouldered dress also from ASOS…

and, if a dress entirely in black lace is a little too sweet for your taste,try this sheath dress with black lace detailing from Rachel Rachel Roy (one of the best budget lines out there!) at Macy’s for $129.

No matter how you cut it, lace is a growing trend that’s here to stay–and it’s not just for brides anymore!

You can get more of Rebecca’s style tips on her blog young-sophisticates.com and don’t forget to look out for her monthly Look for Less column here on CheapChicas!

I have the first Asos dress and it’s great! I’ve worn it on several occasions and still fabulous. I love lace!
