The little black dress has been a part of the Parisian vernacular since the early days of couture, so it’s only natural that <a href="http://www.selfridges.com/cat/claudie-pierlot/" style="text-decoration: none"><font color="black"><b>Claudie Pierlot</b></font></a>, one of the city’s most prolific ready-to-wear labels, should conjure a new iteration. Cropped shy of the knees from satin, this pinstriped <b>dress</b> follows strict style lines from the skirt, but delivers all the detail up top with a waistline cinched via a buckled self-tie belt, plus a smattering of pearlescent buttons.
