If in 2013 you’re attending a wedding and want to wear something comfortable but not too casual, think about an ah-mazing brocade dress. Brocade is commonly made from silk, cotton, polyester and viscose. Featuring a subtle (usually gold) sheen it is generally shaped with transparent prints like florals, paisley, swirls and sometimes abstract. The design was seen in many 2013 fashion shows including Vera Wang, Mary Katrantzou, Monique Lhuillier and Alexander McQueen.
