Little Black Dress: Five Under $50

Dec. 19, 2008 — -- "GMA" has clued viewers in on the best winter coats under $80 and the cutest holiday party dresses under $50.

Now, in another installment of our recessionista fashion finds, Glamour magazine editor Suze Yalof-Schwartz tells you where to find that wardrobe must -- the little black dress.

The Figure-Flattering Halter-Top Dress

Halter tops are so flattering, especially on someone with broad shoulders. It's a great way to fake looking more narrow. I found that this ended up looking good on everyone who tried it on. The cumberbund-like band acts as a built-in bra. Dress it up with bright red shoes and pile on the rhinestone bracelets for a full-on glam effect.

The Asymmetrical Dress

This is the season of the asymmetrical dress. We love the feminine details of the bow and that the neckline is higher on the bust. No matter your size, there's definitely room to grow in this dress, so anyone looking to hide their stomach, rear, or thighs will love it. And the bigger the necklace, the better, and layering adds the perfect statement.

Black Dress With Extra Sparkle

Not everyone loves showing their arms, but of course, you still want the sex appeal. The Max Studio dress has sheer full sleeves, and the decorative details near the hem emphasize great legs.

Black Dress With Lace

Lace is the fabric of the season. A gold chunky necklace gives an added edge that creates the perfect combination of hard and soft.
