Sleeveless lace overlay dresses work for warm weather events where you need something more substantial than a slip dress but lighter than a sleeved option. The lace overlay on a sleeveless base means you get texture without excess fabric around the arms. These dresses transition well from day to evening depending on how you accessorise and what occasion you are dressing for. The bare arms and the texture of the lace keep them feeling contemporary rather than formal. They layer beautifully under a blazer or cardigan when temperature drops. These are the lace overlay dresses that solve the problem of looking put-together when the weather is warm.
