Natalie Mini Dress lower-impact ✓ Seasonless AppealIdeal for layeringOrange is the color most party dresses avoid, so the Natalie takes it. Tulle carries the sparkle without weighing anything down, and a short length keeps the whole thing from turning into a production. Tulle also photographs the way it looks in person, which is not true of every sheer fabric. The color runs deep enough for evening and stays clean enough to wear in daylight. Pick it when you want to be found in a crowd.
