You don’t need to break the bank to capture the shine. Options highlighted include an R&M Richards halter-neck dress (from $81 with coupon) that mimics the halter shape and ankle length but offers back coverage for a strapless bra. The Grace Karin midi delivers a V-neck, wrinkle-resistant fabric and a waist-cinching belt praised by shoppers. For more coverage, the Baltic Born Muse sequin maxi has a high neckline, short sleeves, a keyhole button and removable sash, available in black-and-gold and other colors.
Metallic dresses bridge seasons—perfect for fall events now and easy to glam up for holiday parties. Other picks mentioned include gowns from House of Harlow, Lulus, Mac Duggal, Baltic Born, Xuibol and Firfig.
