A draped dress in a jewel tone takes the fluid movement concept and pairs it with a color that actually makes a statement. Emerald and sapphire and deep burgundy are colors that read as intentional. The draping creates visual interest and dimension that means the dress is not just relying on color to land. Jewel tones work on most skin tones if you find the right shade for you. The fabric weight needs to be substantial enough that the draping reads as graceful rather than just droopy. These are the draped dresses in jewel tones that prove color and construction together create an outfit that stands on its own.
