    La Femme

    La Femme Dresses

    "La Femme" is French for "Woman," and dresses from La Femme emphasize the femininity of their wearers. These sweeping gowns and party dresses flatter the female form, bringing class and composure to their wearers. The styles range from long and sophisticated to informal and classic, with one unifying feature - La Femme's designs are uniformly excellent, drawing the eye and encouraging originality from their wearers.

    Two generations of experience behind them, La Femme dresses are truly unique in all aspects. Prom dresses and evening gowns are La Femme specialty. La Femme dresses encompass the ideas and innovations of their exceptionally talented designers worldwide. La Femme believes that "It matters to look different!"

    TWO MAIN STYLES

    La Femme's dresses come in two main categories - full length gowns and shorter, above-the-knee cocktail and mini dresses, but among these two main cuts are a universe of variations. Halter necks, spaghetti straps, plunging necklines and asymmetrical, crystal designs that come in a number of colors and sizes mean that La Femme's designs can flatter anyone from a size 00 to 12, at any formal occasion. In the full-length line, there are amazing white-based bold paisley printed silk dresses, gemmed-strap jersey dresses, animal-inspired prints, solid colors, and florals. The longer dresses would look equally at home on the runway or at a sophisticated opening party, while some of the shorter pieces are perfect for parties and clubs.

    DRAMA & PERIOD ROMANCE FOR SUMMER SEASONS

    La Femme's Moddish Circle Detailed Sequin Evening Dress, with its hem just above the knees, evokes the mod fashions of London with a modernity all its own, complimented by their Sequin Swirl Halter Mini. The modern classic strapless evening dresses bring back the feel of the fifties at reasonable prices. The prints and patterns evoke powerful silhouettes of women who know what they want, and how they're going to get it, with La Femme's floor-length gowns blending modern sensibilities when it comes to color and cut with the fairytale romance of a modern enchanted forest. Inventive and unexpected, the styles combine the best of the old with a fresh new look at women's style, revealing complimentary expectations of body, form and fabric.

    For a show-stopping gown that will allow its wearer to blossom, check out their Striking Strapless Floral Printed Silk Beautiful Dress - a ravishing swirl of white silk and pink-and-purple blossoms which is both elegant and cutting edge, showing off the upper back - so watch those bikini tan lines!

    POLISH AND GLOSS

    Deep jewel tones are a theme in La Femme's current collection, with solid color dresses available in emerald green, amethyst purple, ruby red, and sapphire blue. Sparkles and detailed sequin finishes make both dress and wearer pop in a crowd, drawing eyes and attention as the occasion they're worn to draws on.

    Even longer dresses in the collection flatter a leggier look, and La Femme's dresses are definitely meant to be worn with heels that accentuate the curve of their wearer's legs and hips. These dresses are about attitude as much as they are about looking amazing, and those who wear them shouldn't be afraid to strut into a room on the highest heels they can manage and declare their arrival to the gathered throngs.

    GREAT FOR ANY AGE

    While some collections feature risque work that might be inappropriate on younger girls and high school students, La Femme flatters both these age groups by producing work that is sensual yet sweet, entirely appropriate for family functions and school occasions. Sweet Sixteen, Quinceanera, Prom, and After Prom are all great opportunities for these dresses to be worn, and because La Femme's designs are ageless, the dresses will keep well rather than fading into dated obscurity within a few years. This makes their price tags more than reasonable, especially for some of the classic sleeveless looks and halter neck dresses which will look just as at home in ten years' time as they do today.

    La Femme's Taffeta Jubilant Bubble Hem may be billed as a cocktail dress, but its suitability for clubbing or a family birthday, along with its availability in the rich cobalt, wine, and black (not to mention its low-cut back, which gives it just enough flair to be a sophisticated alternative to more little-girlish dresses), while the deep plunging couture fitted dresses, or those with hip-high slits up one side, are definitely for a woman who knows her body - and how to use it to her best advantage in a room full of admirers.

    ENCOURAGING POSITIVITY!

    With their designs, La Femme encourages women to take pride in their appearance and their bodies, and all their pieces give women a positive vision of how to look their best. With their multitude of colors and variations within each style, any woman will be able to find a La Femme dress which suits her - both in terms of her appearance and her personality. The pieces are beautiful and exciting, with detail work that stresses craftsmanship and a sense of appropriate style over flash-in-the-pan attempts to be trendy for a moment.

    Each cut is subtly different and each dress shows a different side to its wearer; by trying a few different La Femme dresses you can find the one that suits your occasion and appearance in the most flattering way. Overall, La Femme emphasizes what it means to be a woman who revels in her appearance and knows how to look glamorous and approachable all at once. The designers have captured a real essence of attraction with their dresses, fabrics, details, prints, and presentation, and by selecting one of these dresses the world of sophistication they've built becomes accessible to any woman.
