White on a beaded mini: the Pamela is not trying to be subtle

and undeniably elegant – the Lucia Backless Mini Dress is your go-to for making a lasting impression

Straps this fine only work when the cut underneath is right

Leah Princess Gown Size:XS White on a beaded mini:The Leah pairs an ice blue base with hand placed floral motifs in copper, navy and rose that trail from the bodice to the hem like falling confetti. Those appliques are textured rather than printed, so they shimmer as you walk. A strapless column cut lengthens the whole frame, and pale blue reads fresh next to a room full of black. The structured bodice stays put through dinner, speeches and dancing, which is what gala dresses are actually judged on.
