The best romantic dresses exhibit a quiet elegance and are effortlessly versatile for all occasions. Wear one on a summertime date, weekend picnic, museum outing, or a wedding—the options are far and wide. A romantic dress can take many forms but is most often characterized by an A-line silhouette and midi-length. Find options in whimsical floral prints or in solid shades; styles made from lace and linen to silk and satin. They can be smocked at the bodice and puff-sleeved; sleeveless or one-shouldered, but above all, they are feminine and flattering to wear, all with an accentuated waist.
