70s maxi dress 1970s Silver Blue Metallic Jewel Waist – Palm Beach Vintage and ultra 70s Green Tan Stripe Floral

Theres nothing worse than ordering a dress online, having it delivered and FINALLY trying it on only to find that the quality is poor its such a bummer, and I certainly know this feeling from experience

Known for creating feminine yet powerful gowns, Oscar de la Renta has dressed some of the worlds most iconic women, from First Ladies to Hollywood stars

Now the originals are kept at the University of Texa s, who has sent out the appeal for their preservation

For a more traditional option that doesnt look like a wedding dress, heres a great option from J Crew Kids: The girls organdy bow dress in their Dress-Up Shop

In terms of wearability, I probably wouldn't pair it with black underwear but you couldn't see any shadows of my nude knickers or bra at all, even in the white colour

Others associate black with mourning, or they want a lighter palette for family photos
