Great fit is the most important element of any dress.
Color is always in style.
A good dress is timeless, not one that makes you say, "What was I thinking?!" in three months.
The best dress is one that you wear, not that wears you."You should walk into a room and people should say, 'Oh, she looks great' — not 'Oh, that dress is beautiful,'"

Invest in a classic style dress, then pop your outfit with accessories with patterns or color that can be easily changed.
