For women who are not so keen on showing off their arms, a light shrug or a cardigan with capped sleeves are great options to conceal and flatter. For women who are more petite, make sure to choose a maxi dress that is more fitted, in order to give the illusion of height.

Break out those elegant strappy heels and pair this ensemble with chandelier earrings and a romantic up-do.
