black special occasion dresses Elle Rebel Betty Haynes Gown Spaghetti Strap Color Petite Long Black Formal Dress:

Sequin Vegas Bachelorette Party Vegas bachelorette parties are a classic, and we think this spaghetti strap mini dress with strings of sequins is a perfect match for the glitter and anything-goes style of Las Vegas

Most of our testers had no issues with the texture, but one self-described delicate orchid tester found it a bit itchy

So did Vivienne Westwood, who continued to celebrate all things Victoriana in her Anglomania lines, Dries Van Noten, who skillfully assembles prints and patterns, and Jean Paul Gaultier, with his spring/summer 1994 Les Tatouages tattoo collection

Wear white while the rest of your party wears black and everyone will know whos tying the knot

Strappy flat sandals or low-block-heel sandals keep the outfit feeling light and elegant

We dare you: next time you want a plain-colored shirt, choose the sophisticated black.
