12 Pre-Fall Dresses to Pre-Order Now for Summer Weddings
This Pre-Fall season, fashion labels are finally designing for the balmy months of May through August, when the clothing will actually be in stores. Yes, that time of year that has so widely become known as wedding season. Lucky us, a number of designers, Altuzarra and Erdem chief among them, are offering charming, fun dresses created with wedding receptions in mind. Perhaps they took inspiration from the prevalence of last summer’s high profile weddings, like that of W’s own Giovanna Battaglia, which took over everyone’s Instagram feed for days. These wedding guests needed not one, but three, four chic looks for the weekend. Needless to say, this summer is shaping up to be more of the same, and these 10 dresses are sure to be on the globe-trotting social set’s wish list.
