This just in: 4 lovely lace dresses for spring
Whether it’s just a trim or a full-on lace dress, there’s something about the feminine material that always looks elegant and timeless. But new arrivals this spring are showing that the delicate fabric is far from, well, being strait-laced. Lacy dresses are appearing in traditional colors on sheath dresses, but also cropping up in new and interesting cuts and bolder colors.
