Mesh dresses require a layer underneath obviously but done right they create a look that’s genuinely interesting rather than just revealing. The texture catches light in a specific way that other fabrics don’t. We love mesh over a slip, over a bodysuit, in layered styles that feel almost architectural. These are the mesh dresses we’ve found that have the right gauge and weight to look like a real design decision rather than something slightly accidental. Statement pieces that deserve more credit than they get.
