Alba Maxi Dress Color:Café The Charlotte goes sleeveless insteadThe Alba wraps at the body and stays sleeveless above it, which keeps black tie event dresses from tipping into costume. Maxi length is the load bearing decision, and everything else stays out of its way. The wrap gives the waist a line without needing a belt over it. Detail: a wrap front. Finish: no sleeves, so the shoulders stay clean. Keep it on the shortlist of gowns you plan to wear more than once.
