talbots maxi dress Jersey - Dynamic Paisley The dress of the season in a gorgeous medallion print Talbots Women's Maxi Dresses On

Black tie optional is a dress code that allows you to have a bit more freedom with your formalwear

As for fabrics, satin shines with a glossy touch, velvet gives a sense of vintage luxury, while chiffon and tulle bring a dreamy and airy look

This dress runs a little snug at the waist, so if youre in between sizes, I recommend a size up

Heavy coats can hide the empire seam, which is the silhouettes defining feature

This blush maxi dress features a blush lining, a floral tulle overlay, round neckline, functional button front, smocked shoulder panels, long sleeves, elastic cuffs, ruffle detailing throughout, and an optional self-tie belt
