Felice's Fashion PicksDon’t wait until the last minute to buy your wedding guest dress…it’s just too stressful. The good news is hemlines are all over the place from short to long. You can wear lots of color or a subdued tone, and either is appropriate.
But although it’s only February it’s not too early to start shopping. BA50 literally went through 100s of sites to curate some great options for you.
It was so much fun to peruse the dresses that are starting to show-up. I just love the dresses with a pop of color or a twist toward the unusual.
The designers and lower priced dresses will either grab you or inspire you to get going and find the right look for your next event.
