day dress THE DATE DRESS:: TUTORIAL Featuring gathering detail in the bust and a flattering I love a day dress

The core structural features of an A-line dress: Fitted bodice from shoulder to natural waist, without boning or rigid structure Flare begins at the natural waist and widens steadily to the hem Skirt falls away from the hips and thighs without contact or cling Hemline runs straight across or with a minimal sweep, not tiered or asymmetrical in the basic form Minimal waist seaming in most versions

The absence of buttons reaffirms the informality of it, making it ideal to wear with tailored swim shorts by day, or a pair of tapered chinos and loafers for a chic summer evening vibe

Chain tops are having a serious moment right now, and we think they would be SO cool to wear to a hard rock concert
