Eyelet Dresses and their Staying Power

Like the little black dress, an eyelet dress is a multiple-occasion dress. Wear it to a casual lunch with your girlfriends. Wear it to Sunday brunch. Wear it to a baby shower, rehearsal dinner or any special gathering. And of course wear it to the annual White Party. Not only can you wear an eyelet dress to various events, the eyelet dress is also always in season. Every Spring and Summer without fail, the eyelet dress returns--probably because it stands as a crowning warm-weather dress. It's fresh, clean and cool to wear in the hot weather. These factors draw me to the conclusion that every woman should own at least one eyelet dress. I promise you will get so much use out of it and year after year too!
