If one is searching for a fashion forward American children’s clothing manufacturer, Llum is one of my personal favorites. And oh, the name is pronounced, “loom”, not to by rhymed with any fruit, and yet often times as colorful.

Llum is the work of apparel designer Amanda Reichert and her team. The company began producing its stylish collections in 2010. All of their clothes are made in the USA. Fabrics are of soft cottons and easy care. The fit runs true to size to slightly small.

I had the opportunity to work with the Llum team in creating merchandise exclusively for llbd shop. Llum was able to take our focus on black and incorporate the color with the stylings of their dresses. Take a look at the Black and White Bertoia Halter Dress, available in sizes 2T-6, and the Black and Purple Bertoia Halter Dress, available in sizes 2T-8.

 

Should you wish a lot-a lot of color to add to your little-little black wardrobe, the Degas dress is for pirouetting in lilac. The large floral sash allows for making an individual self-tie bow fashion statement.

Why Little Black Dresses for Little Girls?

Posted on by

For the love of little black dresses, little-little black dresses.

Some may ask, so why little black dresses for little girls? REALLY?  Black for little girls?

Yes, absolutely.  I have been in love with all things black since I was a little girl. It is not that I am a morbid person, I am just drawn to the simplicity and the sophistication of black.

As a child my mother would suggest a tan camel hair winter coat. I preferred the navy one. Red patent shoes, I selected the black pair.  A floral print dress? Not for me, I wanted the navy jumper with a simple white turtleneck. No Peter Pan collars, definitely not. No button trims down the front of a dress. You guessed it, I was a 1960’s little girl, with pure Florence Eiseman taste.

Over the years I became quite known for my mostly black wardrobe.  It suited me.  I was a jewelry designer and craftsman. The black clothing was always a great backdrop for the jewelry. And of course, my favorites were and are my little black dresses.

llbdshop.com was developed from that love of the little black dress. It occurred to me that there was a wealth of black dresses for women available, but not necessarily a place to shop for “little-little” black dresses. It seemed to me that every little girl should have a little black dress and all things to go with it in her closet. My definition of a little-little black dress is really one’s very favorite dress, not necessarily black, we do offer other colors. I though, recommend the black.
