Style
Tube Dress
Simple yet elegant, a tube dress with its strapless design makes it a lil’ sexy but not overly-revealing. It is no wonder it is one of the most picked designs. Most importantly, most people would be able to pull it off.
Drop-shoulder
One of the most popular trends in recent years and it’s not hard to understand why.
The drop-shoulder detail adds sophistication to the outfit, making it look extra chic yet not losing one’s femininity when worn. Also, it helps to modify certain body parts such as arms to look slimmer visually.
