Lace dresses require a confident hand at styling but when you get it right the result is genuinely stunning. The texture adds so much visual interest that the dress does the work for you. We love a lace dress for evenings, for occasions that want something a bit romantic and special, and in some of the more casual versions for daytime too. The quality of the lace matters enormously. These are the ones we’ve found that have the right weight and pattern to look expensive and intentional.
