It's said that ancient societies wore tunics which were overlaid with fabric and during the middle ages those from a higher class began to add further material to their tunics to showcase their wealth. From then on dresses began to evolve. 

When speaking of the history of dresses, we must not forget to mention the little black dress. Originally invented in the 1920's by Chanel, the LBD has since provided women with an uniform that is both universal and sustainable. However, the garments key rise to fame was in 1961 when Audrey Hepburn wore a Givenchy LBD in the film Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Another remarkable moment in the history of dresses was in the 1960's when the sack dress evolved into what is now known as shift dress. Saint Laurent realized that the planarity of the dress was ideal for color blocking and crafted blocks of jersey onto it to replicate an iconic Mondrian design, which led to the desire for designer printed dresses.

Today, the garment ranges in length, silhouette, and color from a leather dress to a cocktail dress there's a design out there to suit every woman's taste.
