ladies dressed undressed and Photography by Lino Vecchiato Dressed and Undressed: Pretty Women

Not classic, but adds great crunch and flavor

Consider the event setting whether its indoors, outdoors, or during warm or cool weather

Many women went a different direction altogether, piecing together their own postwar look with wide skirts and tailored suits

Most, if not all, cruise companies will require you to cover up swimwear indoors, even if you are just nipping to the loo and remember bare is rare onboard whether thats bare feet or bare chests (although there is apparently a discrete topless bathing area on Virgin Voyages ships shhh, you didnt hear it from me)

Perfect for weddings, black-tie events or evening galas, this dress offers the perfect balance of modern glamour and timeless refinement
