Bowing Out in Armani’s Cady Bustier Dress

If you thought the bow accents and flower detailing were long gone with the season’s shift to simpler silhouettes and refined styles, don’t overlook the power of the flower and lace to jazz up anything in basic black. Armani brings us this simply sweet Cady Bustier Dress in black, complete with deep v-neck cut and elegant satin bow pinned to the side.

The strapless dress begs for some under-there support, but the extra investment will be well worth as you flit around to the next event on your social itinerary.    Paired with flats or heels, this one’s a simple throw-on dress when your attendance is required at the last minute and you still need a pulled-together look.

Armani Cady Bustier Dress:   $995, now available at the Emporio Armani online store
