1. The Structured Midi Dress
Think soft draping, defined waistlines, and fabrics with a little weight—like crepe, ponte knit, or velvet blends. A midi length keeps you elegant while sleeves or sheer panels add just enough coverage.
Best for: Indoor ceremonies, winery weddings, or anywhere you want to stay warm without sacrificing style.
