Below are some great little black dresses that would be perfect to dress up or dress down

Romwe Crocodile-Print Mock-Neck Bodycon Mini Dress For something that has a similar amount of coverage but is more body-hugging than the pick above, this bodycon dress has a mock neck and long sleeves, but the mini length and shiny crocodile print give it just the right amount of oomph

The dress also comes with a belt for a classic waist cinch (that's detachable so you can also wear it comfortably to a buffet #priorities)
