Found: Lace LBD at last!

This is not the best picture but I finally got a little black lace dress with elbow length see-through sleeves and a pretty scoop neck.  And it was much cheaper than I was expecting at a local discount department store!  This one is by Annabelle USA, who have the cutest tag!  Looks much better on...

 love the little silver silhouette of a dress form and that orchid pink lettering!

and it can be turned up a notch with these studded triple buckle ankle booties...
