My sister-in-law came over the other day to borrow a dress for a black-tie party. She quickly zeroed in on a one-shoulder, floor-length black dress. It fit perfectly, but it needed something... a belt. I had her try on a handful, and it was fun to see how each one effected a different vibe (fancy, super fancy, etc.). Soon thereafter, I happened upon this swishy, sexy maxi dress, which takes the guesswork out as it comes with a brown casual belt. But sub in a black velvet sash on and it's ready for painting the town red...
