a line black dress sleeveless Donna Karan Halter Midi - CARE Hand wash cold or dry clean. Chic Obsession Sleeveless A-Line Mini

These men's alligator shoes are meticulously crafted with the utmost

Medium-toned brown shoes will match best with black, while browns that are too dark, like mahogany, or too light, like tan, will create too little and too much contrast, respectively

Backless Dress

Whether that means taking in a gown to make it smaller for your hips, bust, or waist (or maybe everywhere), adding cups, shortening straps, hemming the length, and adding in the bustle for your train, alterations are a standard part of the whole process

Or for an even dressier version, a classic, drape-y shawl slung low around the elbows works, too

Crafted from a poly-spandex blend this dress feels like butter on the body
