There is something so bold and yet so simple about the dress. The colour is eye-catching, and the lace makes it both demure and just a bit racy. Best for an evening do in the city, we think.

Maxi dresses can be controversial for a wedding guest. You absolutely must avoid whites, blushes, laces or anything too floaty, just to avoid clashing with the bride. You simply don’t want to look like you’re trying to compete. With this dress, you’ll look lovely without looking like you’re trying to upstage the wedding party.
