A lot of the most beautiful elegant dresses I`ve seen are usually black. Black is such a classic and versatile color that it can be paired with almost anything. 

A black dress doesn`t have to be boring, you may look for a minimalist ruffle dress with modern design. Black dresses are the ultimate go-to in times of uncertainty. Choosing a black dress with minimal design like color blocks, modern ruffles and simple prints will help you accessorize your outfit easier. 

Ruffle dresses may not seem like a desirable choice reminiscence of the expressive outfits of the 80`s. Ruffle dresses with a minimalist and modern touch are certainly unique. The little touches of flare ruffles give make the dress more feminine as well.
