The best cocktail dresses for any summer party
Let’s face it we all love a bit of old Hollywood glamour, and if we can draw on anyone for cocktail party inspiration it’s Grace Kelly. At YCB our inbox is blowing up with summer party invites and we are all about easy elegance and classy looks to get us ready to party! Luckily we’ve found some absolutely gorgeous designs by the Swedish designer Maria Westerlind which totally fit the bill.
A third generation fashion designer, Maria Westerlind has been creating incredibly feminine yet sophisticated looks for her own brand since 2003. Each garment is so charming and has such a classic design that almost all of them are perfect for champagne toasts, cocktail parties and even wedding attire (guest-not-bride that is!)
