Put this dress in any other colour and you’ve got a fun, flirty cocktail dress. Make it white however and you’ve got yourself a great informal wedding dress that is perfect for a civil ceremony. The bodice is long and fitted with a central vertical column of bows and a heavy, flippy skirt that rests just on the knee. All you need to accessorise is a great pair of heels and some lace gloves but don’t go too overboard or you could end up looking like a Madonna lookey-likey circa the eighties.
