A structured long sleeve dress with a collar detail reads as intentional and formally dressed without looking like you are trying too hard. The collar adds shape to the neckline and gives the dress a more tailored feeling overall. Tailored means the fit is considered at the waist and through the shoulders without being tight or restrictive. Black is the expected choice and it is the right choice. A simple collar in a matching fabric keeps the visual interest minimal and appropriate. These dresses work for a full day of services and receptions because they are built to look polished without demanding any additional styling.
