SEE JANE STYLE - WHAT TO WEAR TO YOUR ENGAGEMENT PARTY (& PHOTO SESSION!)

A strapless dress with a high low hemline is an ideal choice for countless wedding occasions and celebrations.  We especially love this style choice when the silhouette features clean design lines in a structured fabric - think Michelle Dockery's gorgeous Oscar de la Renta dress for the 2014 Golden Globes.  It allows the skirt to flow beautifully and highlights a pair of gorgeous stilettos to perfection (or a signature silver lining...).  

Likewise, our Meredith Black and White Dress combines two of our favorite iconic dresses--the little white dress and the little black dress--to create the perfect dress for the modern bride to wear to her Engagement Party, Couples Shower and Engagement Photos.

Featuring a beautifully tailored Jet Black Strapless Bodice and an elegant tiered Oyster-hued skirt with a structured hem detail, this Little Black and White Cocktail Dress guarantees a dramatic entrance...and exit.  As seen in the photo above, it photographs beautifully, adding one more perfect silhouette to the modern bride's white dress repertoire.  A dress to live a dream in...

The short wedding dress was once a radical departure; today it is simply a sophisticated choice for a white rehearsal dinner dress, a wedding reception second look, and an after party wedding dress. The bridal mini dress honors the heritage of 1960s couture and makes an equally compelling case as the second look.
