Polysemous Signs.
The little black dress is a polysemous sign because it has a negotiated reading (Stuart Hall). To different people it means different things. To some people a little black dress is quite posh and elegant, to others it is more voyeuristic and to others it is depressing and linked to funerals. I want our audience to get an elegant, voyeuristic feel from the little black dress.
