linen formal dress Natural Journey Maxi This linen maxi dress is carefully handcrafted Navy Blue Cotton Linen Open-Back

Rich jewel tones, blush, navy, champagne, and black all read as appropriate guest colours for an engagement party without competing with the couples celebratory looks

And as the only black shoes I own are toe cap oxfords, I had to chuckle at the comments about formality because, in my humble opinion, they do not look too smart together

Remember, this is your special day

I miss high school back in the 90s this was a normal day in my school

Im also a huge fan of these types of dresses that can be dressed up with kitten heels and an elegant structured clutch (for graduation), but will look equally good worn with flip flops and a straw bag
