LBD Fans -
I just came across this quote in the 1962 spy novel, "The Ipcress File" by Len Deighton (later a movie starring Michael Caine). It says a lot about the dress and the look...
She was wearing that ‘little black sleeveless dress’ that every woman has in reserve for cocktail parties, funerals and first nights. Her slim white arms shone against the dull material, and her hands were long and slender, the nails cut short and varnished in a natural colour.
After re-reading that passage I thought about similar LBD references. All that came to mind was the Hollies 1972 song, "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress".
Anyone know another reference to the iconic LBD?
