Black and white can look fresh for spring and summer – especially if the sleeves are elbow length as opposed to long.
For Day 11 of the challenge I have chosen this black and white dress Biba dress with a pattern placed on the top half , and slimming black panels down each side which draw the eye in, creating the illusion of a slimmer silhouette.
As the upper half of the dress is quite busy, you would need to keep jewellery at the neckline very simple – if you felt you needed any at all – while the shorter sleeve length is ideal for showing off slim wrists by wearing a chunky plain bangle.
A pair of heels and a simple clutch is all you need to be ready for a summer event.
At the time of writing this dress is in the sale at House of Fraser for £44. A bargain !
Just in case you missed the previous dresses in the challenge here they are:
