a line floral dress Ruched Slip A-Line Midi Turn heads on prom night in this breathtaking blue and white floral tiered ball gown from Stacees Sydney's Closet Women's Floral Strapless

Paired with dark sunglasses, sneakers, and white socks with stripes, it gives off a laid-back yet polished vibe

My special thanks to Helen Dudzic of Pennsylvania, USA and Carol Morgan of Cardiff, UK who gave me these marvelous costume history photographs which are such great images

This outfit suits evening ceremonies, black-tie optional receptions, and any formal venue where quiet luxury takes center stage

The straps are wide and I love how the lace has been placed along the edge of the neckline so you get that pretty lace finish against the skin
