You're a modern minimalist, and not afraid to show some curves. The "Diana" is one of Norma Kamali's most popular silhouettes for a reason—it's chic, tasteful, and party-ready. You'll find it strapless (recently worn by "Golden Bachelor" finalist Leslie Fhima for her son's wedding) as well as one shoulder; knee-length and ankle, in a range of colors. The ruching makes the stretchy fabric easier to pull off. We love the balance of the one shoulder and asymmetrical hemline. Sizes XS to XL. Buy from Revolve.

A solid candidate for a beach wedding weekend. Easy, chic styling; a fun print that isn't too distracting. The thing to know is there's no structure in the bodice, so you're going to need a good strapless bra, or a seamstress to help you build in some cups. At this price, that might be worth exploring! Sizes XS to XL. Buy from Nordstrom.
