One Shoulder Wonder

Summer may be over but the party season has only just begun! Well it's just around the corner ;) The latest silhouette to light up the red carpet and catwalks everywhere is the asymmetrical dress. These one shoulder wonders are a lot easier to wear than their strapless peers and really add a sweet touch to your look.

You'll find a lot of them embellished with beautiful gems or with pretty ruffle or corsage detailing and there's a one shoulder frock for any occasion: a casual but sleek denim one shoulder dress for everyday wear, a one shoulder floral print maxi for a barbecue date or an embellished one shoulder dress that screams 'party time'!
