{"id":514,"count":29,"description":"<p>Navy blue has taken over from black at most weddings and formal occasions: just as smart, softer in photos and welcome everywhere, church included. Our Navy shade comes mostly in long dresses, in matte chiffon for daytime and satin for the evening.<\/p>\n<h2>The colour you can't get wrong<\/h2>\n<p>A navy dress for a wedding is about as safe as it gets: it flatters every skin tone, never dates and sits easily alongside the guests' suits. It's also a classic for bridesmaids and mothers of the bride who want something elegant without the severity of black.<\/p>\n<h2>Long or short, day or evening<\/h2>\n<p>Of the 29 designs, 23 are long. For a daytime ceremony, matte chiffon (on 15 designs) is still the best choice. For the evening, satin (on 7 designs) catches the light and gives the blue real depth. Eleven dresses are backless, better kept for evening receptions and civil ceremonies.<\/p>\n<h2>What you'll find in this edit<\/h2>\n<p>Draped bodices feature on 25 dresses and high slits on 12, while 5 come with a matching cape. There are 12 A-line styles, 7 mermaid shapes and 4 sheath dresses, and 6 designs finish with a train.<\/p>\n<h2>See the shade in person<\/h2>\n<p>Navy changes with the fabric: matte and deep in chiffon, brighter in satin.
