romantic as the fabric itself, so are the tops, skirts and slip dresses many designers are
offering
this season.


Slip Dresses

An item as basic as a slip dress is elevated to royal status by way of velvet. Its tactile
delicateness lends a romantic touch –a heavy dose of femininity that can be amplified with
floral-printed velvet and elegant trimmings, or muted with a casual jacket or a pair of white
sneakers.

A little black dress is anything but basic when given the velvet treatment.
Pair it with

rich and opulent velvet fabric. And thanks to labels such as Saloni, Red Valentino, A.L.C. and
