Shred Detail Dress, Cement

Every spring, shoppers come to Evie Lou looking for a dress for a wedding that's "different." It's a difficult category; a "different" piece might not be dressy enough in the wearer's eyes, because she's used to seeing "dressy" as something sateen and sequiny. But in our humble opinion, this is the dress for the 2020 wedding guest! It's done in a sophisticated woven linen blend and has cap sleeves, a rounded neckline and a dropped-waist silhouette. Shredded insets at the bust and waist provide a hint of edginess (and skin -- be judicious in your undergarment choices), and a tuck-waist detail sets the stage for a full skirt. Understated, elegant and slightly subversive -- "different," indeed!
