  • For birthdays: Let the sequins do the talking — keep accessories minimal and add a pair of CDG PLAY Converse for a cool, modern twist.
  • For weddings: Floral and embroidered dresses pair beautifully with delicate sandals and a small clutch or basket bag.
  • Year-round versatility: Layer a fine-knit cardigan over any of these dresses for cooler evenings or indoor events.
