Can leather can be classy and elegant?? I love leather looks, but sometimes they can verge on the harsher, give-me-a-whip side of fashion. So I absolutely had to try this plus size Leather Sheath Dress from Jessica London that I saw on Fullbeauty.com. I went with black (although it comes in a gorgeous shade of dark raisin too!) and I awaited the package with a lot of excitement and a little bit of dread. Leather doesn’t stretch or give at all, so will it fit? Will I look like a dominatrix in this dress? Where on earth will I wear it??? All of these questions bounced around my head. But…when it came and I slipped it on…it fit perfectly! And as you can see, it’s a simply elegant and tasteful LBD. No whips needed!

I didn’t want to go over the top with accessories, so I just wore a simple necklace and earrings, a streamlined clutch and simple leather bangle. The strappy sandals provided just a hint of the dark sex-appeal that leather is known for, but definitely doesn’t go over the top.
