The Waldorf dress in swan print normally retails for $119, but it currently on sale for $89 (!)
Slip into a pair of black velvet block-heel sandals and carry a small beaded clutch that echoes the tops shimmer
The asymmetrical neckline highlights the shoulder, and the empire waist sits just above the natural waistline, under the rib cage (the smallest part of most pear-shaped womens bodies)
Floral lace patterns, scalloped edges, and appliqu details often trace along the backline, creating a soft and romantic outline that feels timeless
Expect color at Marco di Vincenzo (the man knows his way around a rainbow) and aristocratic Milanese chic from Alessandra Facchinetti at Tod's
Meanwhile, the dress's clever sheer capelet delivers sophisticated modesty and a welcome reprieve from the afternoon sun directly on your shoulders
