metallic green dress Emerald Full Length Sleeve Style Suki Metallic Knit Maxi Dress

We think you'll adore these five casual beach wedding dresses (and the fact that they can double as honeymoon outfits for your post-wedding fun in the sun)

This striking crystal trimmed cocktail dress is perfect for homecoming, nights out & parties

A black tie affair is slightly less formal but still very dressy

We also love it tucked into these veggie burritos or piled on top of our shrimp tacos

While a few paintings show elaborate brocades, the majority of these gowns are very plain with the only decoration coming from a thin band of trim around the neckline (which becomes greatly exaggerated in later periods) or possibly decorative metal lacing rings
