Roll up, roll up, mere muggles!
Come see what is quite possibly the world’s most sought after little black dress. Comprising 92 per cent viscose and eight percent elastane (and maybe a fistful of Tinkerbell’s magic glitter) this MM.LaFleur number has a waiting list of 1400 people.
Yep, you read that right… 1400 PEOPLE.
“The Casey”, with its full-length sleeves and beautiful wrap-style waist, seems to be the perfect number to go from day to night.
Retailing for US$240, the stylish number will set you back AUD$321.10, but devoted customers seem to agree: splashing cash on MM.LaFleur frocks is well and truly worth it.
Just last year, the company experienced similar success with its first style, "The Tory", which was noticeably less fitted. Within weeks, over 1000 people had handed over their personal details, all in the hopes of snagging one for themselves.
Seemingly, the company's secret to creating the perfect LBD is artistic flair.
"Our designer is a master at the Japanese art of wrapping, and this dress is meticulously designed to complement your shape without feeling too tight," the up-market boutique boasts on their website.
Yep! Japanese wrapping is where it's at, you guys.

There is a small catch if you want the dress shipped Down Under, though.
While the company doesn't have a shipping arrangement to Australia, it does take orders from Aussie customers on an individual basis.
If you're keen to get your mitts on "The Casey", email bonjour@mmlafleur.com with your request and they'll see what they can do.

It's nice but it's not nice enough to pay over $300 and have to faff around emailing the company to even get one delivered.
I find I rarely wear little black dresses anyway. I find them a bit boring and almost always reach for a brightly coloured/patterned dress instead. LBDs have their place, for sure, but I don't find them to be as a big a staple as many women seem to.
Similar to the Ralph by Ralph Lauren dresses. Loads on eBay and you can buy them from Macy's if you have a US postal address setup. I wear them most days!
And luckily Australia Post has now got a forwarding service that makes it even easier! https://shopmate.auspost.co...
The pesky no delivery outside of the US thing that stopped so much of my online shopping habit has met its match. My poor credit card.
