Julissa Maxi Dress

Nude is the quiet corner of formal dresses for women, and the Julissa uses it well. An off the shoulder line opens the top, the length runs to the floor, and lace fills the space between without crowding anything.

The color is deep enough to hold an evening and clean enough to wear in daylight, which keeps a piece like this in rotation. Lace on a long cut can turn heavy fast; here it stays light.

Reach for it when black would be too much.
