When choosing, consider the fabric weight-silk and velvet feel luxurious but may need dry-cleaning, while jersey or knit drape softly and are easy to care for.

Check the dress length and cut; a racerback or cut-out style adds visual interest, and a fitted bodice with a flowing skirt provides a flattering silhouette.
