When it comes to making an impression--of only the best kind--it just does not get any better than selecting the perfect satin dress that fits like a glove and makes 'em sweat. With so many ways to do a satin dress:
loose and flow-y, shaped and square, short and sassy (the list goes on
and on), it can be difficult to know where to begin. So, we've gathered
an eclectic collection, filled with nothing but the latest styles by
some of the hottest designers, to help you select your favorite take
from some of the latest trends. Don't dive into the satin dress pool
without first checking out these absolutely top of the line styles and
shapes!
Let's kick off this classy category with an unexpected shape to this flow-y, free spirited fabric. Banana Republic's ultra chic business to date appropriate 'Satin Pleated Dress.' This fabulously funky take on a silk dress gives a nod to a boxy vintage take: boding intricate vertical pleats down the bodice, drop-waist cut, and square-ish sleeveless top with draped back, you will be an easy stunner in this turquoise beauty. Its mid-thigh length offers the perfect balance to its block shape and high neck. This subtly sexy frock is one hundred percent silk, and sports a button placket in back and an elastic waist. For those of you seeking a comfortable, cute, unique take on this classic dress, Banana Republic should be your first (and only!) stop. Nab this pretty piece for just $130.00.
Flipping the coin completely, it's time to check out the best of the best when it comes to an extra pretty, ultra flow-y take on this classic women's dress. Alice + Olivia definitely deliver with their 'Trina Tunic Dress!' This absolutely beautiful, simple cut and shape is a total stunner. Featuring a medium-to-high scoop neck, knotted racer back, one-and-a-half-inch straps, and sexy thirty-two inch length, this poppy colored option is truly classy, yet ultra hip. Plus, its 94% silk/6% spandex shell and 95% silk/5% spandex lining make for a seriously comfortable, breezy fit, while maintaining the top-of-the-line fabric and make Alice + Olivia is known for. This stretch silk frock takes moves with an ease and sits like a dream. Coming in at $198.00, this silky sweet choice is most definitely worth every penny!
Now that we've looked at two seriously sassy, yet very different shapes, it's time to check out a silk print done just right. Tucker's 'Classic Mini Dress' takes the ultra of-the-moment over sized floral print, puts it on a grey background, and shapes it into a flattering wrap dress. Boasting a slightly more rounded chest meeting in the classic crossover shape we all know and love, this floral silk take features a smocked elastic collar with nine-button back closure. Plus, with touches like its three-quarter length raglan sleeves, self-belt waist tie, and gathered elastic cuffs, you'll definitely feel pretty in pink with this classy, yet funky choice. This thirty-three-inch frock lands mid-to-upper thigh, and is constructed of woven silk. Ringing in at a full retail price of $315.00, this dress is definitely a little pricier, but won't disappoint.
