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.
