The Alice + Olivia Sequin Strapless Dress is nicely priced at $595. Although still a bit high price-wise, it’s a fantastic dress that …read more

This JS Collections dress is fantastic.  A lot of clothes tend to follow the same pattern, but this one is different while still being in line with current trends.  I love the sleeves on this, the little bows on the sleeves, and the piping; the black floral print against the white background is really exquisite.

Available at Barrie Pace which ships to the United States.  See their women’s clothing sale section, too.
