The diagonal line of the wrap also skims the body gracefully rather than clinging, which is part of why so many people find the silhouette comfortable and forgiving

This lace maxi dress features a sweetheart neckline, ruffle trim, and flowy floor-length skirt that will be sure to have the whole place swooning

The long sleeves offer a touch of coverage whilst maintaining the dress's daring appeal

I found this one from Ann Taylor a few weeks ago and thought it would be great for an upcoming bridal shower with my family
