We’ve said it before and we will say it again we love a sheath dress. This one silhouette has so many ways to style and make it your own. Its sophisticated shape is incredibly simple, allowing any embellishments and details to really stand out. From crystal lined cap sleeves to intricate illusion lace backs, these gowns are seriously chic. Fabrics like dalila chiffon and satin also give an ethereal flow as you catch that beach breeze.
