backless dress blue Sherri Hill Open Back Print Prom 57226 Ivory/Fuchsia / 2 up long evening gowns made in the USA. Katie May X Revolve Secret

You don't necessarily need to buy anything new, but I promise you'll find hidden gems in your own closet

If the weather is cool enough to justify it, this is where a great overcoat and scarf can really elevate the smartness of the look, too

Designed for the modern woman, this dress features a flattering V-neck, sleeveless design, and a backless style that enhances your silhouette

Its the kind of LBD you can pair with sneakers (like adidas Sambas) for a casual Sunday brunch or wear with strappy sandals for a backyard cocktail party

Each is adjustable by event (gala vs wedding vs religious venue) through accessory layering (shawl, pashmina) rather than gown change

Slip on your favorite LBD and a strand of pearls then all you need is a cheap tiara
