Thanks to its dreamy print, Camilla and Marc’s “Ruby Lane” dress is a trans-seasonal wardrobe addition that will take you to many an event in style. A pleated maxi skirt naturally sounds like it would suit mum or grandma, but Camilla and Marc keep things sexy with a halter neckline and low back. All you need is a stacked heel and fresh tan to take this dreamy dress to the next level. If you prefer a shorter take, that’s available too!
