Self-Portrait has become such a stalwart of pretty partywear that it’s easy to forget the label isn’t even a decade old – founded in 2013 to instant rapture from the fashion world. This delicate dress neatly sums up all the reasons why: unabashedly romantic, it’s shaped from fine, floral-embroidered lace, finishing with scalloped trims and a fluttery hem. The semi-sheer, thigh-grazing silhouette prevents any verging into princess territory, though.
