However, an elegant midi dress that hits the calf is a perfectly acceptable, highly stylish alternative if you prefer slightly more leg coverage than standard knee-length party dresses provide
Collectors should focus on finding beautiful examples with special details, such as embroidery, hand beading, or delicate lace
