dark green maxi dress Velvi - Elena Off-the-shoulder - Emerald and evening wear. Glitter Mermaid Off The Shoulder

Our Favorite: Made of soft, lightweight cotton, this babydoll dress has a denim look with a swingy fit that makes it both comfortable and flattering

V neckline, mesh material, adjustable straps, diagonal ruffle detail

Think beyond traditional dresses and embrace metallics and shimmering fabrics that catch the light as you dance the night away

Remember, your trousers must always have a clean hem, and clingy materials are a strict no-no

I had a gut feeling two weeks before that I'd be over dressed

Double gauze and cotton bambula also work beautifully, giving you that soft, airy volume that makes cute summer dress sewing patterns such a joy to wear on hot days
