The first thing I zero in on as someone who’s tall is the sleeve length on this piece. No matter how long or short your arms are, sleeves that extend over your knuckles are trés chic. It helps draw all attention to any sparkling rings you’re wearing, which would be a perfect complement to this dress. You can wear a bra with this dress without it showing, since it’s fully lined, and it’s entirely made with stretch mesh fabric that’s both breathable and comfortable. I know we said summer is the time to ditch the long-sleeve numbers, but we figured we’d have at least one on this list for night-time receptions!
