items When You Want to Walk Into the Room Looking @#$%&! Incredible. For the dresses that make you rethink your plans, your shoes, your hair and possibly your entire personality. These are not the dresses you wear when you want to blend in. They're for...
There is nothing shy about this floral. The fitted bodice, belted waist and enormous flared skirt give it a fantastic silhouette, while the puff sleeves and covered buttons add just enough vintage attitude. Wear it with heels and it's polished. Wear ...
HENRIETTA BELTED MIDI DRESS - FLORAL RADIANCE
A slip dress, but make it cinematic. The glossy floral print, empire waist and dramatic mermaid hem give this one serious movement, and the open crossed-back keeps all that romance from getting too sweet. This is the dress I'd save for the dinner res...
MILTA MERMAID SLIP DRESS - ALPINE DAWN
Somewhere between romantic lace and “don't underestimate me.” The sweetheart neckline and floral lace are undeniably pretty, but that wildly asymmetrical tiered skirt changes the whole mood. The black-and-chino combination is what makes it work for m...
ADLA ASYMMETRICAL LACE DRESS - BLACK/CHINO
Black evening gowns can get very predictable. This one apparently refused. Dimensional beaded flowers and vines climb across the satin, while the drop-waist silhouette and full skirt give it that slightly surreal, floating quality. It's dark, romanti...
MAXINE EMBELLISHED GOWN - MAGIC GARDEN BLACK
If you're going to wear a gold gown, I see no reason to whisper about it. The entire strapless silhouette is covered in hand-embroidered sequins and beadwork, so the dress changes as it moves. Sleek underneath all that embellishment, completely over-...
DELORA EMBELLISHED STRAPLESS GOWN - GOLD/MULTI
I would like to formally nominate enormous hibiscus as an acceptable reason to get dressed. The puff sleeves, tie waist and tiered maxi skirt give this floral plenty of volume, but the shirt-dress shape keeps it from becoming precious. Vacation, gard...
CORA MAXI SHIRT DRESS - ROSE GARDEN LG HIBISCUS
This dress has absolutely no interest in being a background character. The red-and-white floral print, tie straps and tier upon tier of skirt create that wonderful floating, swishy shape that makes walking around feel slightly more theatrical. Basica...
HAVEN MAXI DRESS - ORCHARD GLOW
The floral is sweet. The silhouette is where things get interesting. A fitted bodice and square neckline drop into that huge, dramatic skirt, creating a shape that's much more fashion-y than the soft tulip print initially suggests. The tie straps are...
ORIANA MIDI DRESS - SOFT TULIP TUSCANY
This dress has entered the chat wearing ruffles, metallic thread and enough embellishment to catch the light from across the room. The layers give it ridiculous movement, while the O-ring waist keeps all that volume from becoming one enormous orange ...
PATRICA EMBELLISHED RUFFLE MAXI DRESS - ORANGE PEEL
The top says serious. The skirt says absolutely not. A fitted turtleneck and long sleeves make a surprisingly severe beginning for a floor-length skirt this enormous, and then there's the moody botanical print and those little thumbholes. It's dramat...
CHARA TURTLENECK MAXI DRESS - WISTFUL WOODS
This is why I will never understand people who think drama requires sequins. The cape sleeves, open back and giant pleated skirt do all the work here, with that paisley print moving through the whole thing. It has the sort of silhouette that makes wa...
SION SUNBURST MAXI DRESS - BOUNDLESS PAISLEY
This one is much more interested in architecture than decoration. Graphic black-and-off-white color blocking, one shoulder, sculptural gold hardware, an open back and a thigh-high slit. Every part of it has a job. Wear this when you want the dress to...
GWENDOLYN CUTOUT MAXI DRESS - BLACK/OFF WHITE
Imagine somebody looked at a floral gown and said, “Needs more flowers,” and then absolutely committed. The satin floor-length silhouette is covered in dimensional beaded blooms, with a drop waist and full skirt underneath all that texture. Romantic,...
MAXINE EMBELLISHED DROP WAIST GOWN - FLORAL RADIANCE
A good fit-and-flare dress knows what it's doing. This one has a fitted bodice, a full skirt and a botanical print that gets even better once the skirt starts moving. It's feminine without being fussy, and the kind of dress that makes you wonder why ...
VERA MIDI DRESS - DESERT SPRIGS VANILLA
Okay, this is a ballgown in the full, unapologetic sense of the word. The printed organza is covered in dimensional 3D floral appliqués, and the enormous structured skirt gives the whole thing a sculptural, almost weightless quality. It’s romantic, f...
CALISSA EMBELLISHED BALLGOWN - SEA BREEZE LAVENDER
