A-Line Dresses for the Kentucky Derby, 2016 Style!

The 2016 Kentucky Derby is quickly creeping up on us! With less than two weeks until the big event, now is the time to shop for the perfect dress if you haven’t done so already. Since the Kentucky Derby is one of my favorite sporting/fashion events of the year, I always feature the must have dresses in a variety of styles and price ranges annually! Over the last few weeks I’ve been sharing gorgeous dresses and today I thought I’d feature a few fabulous a-line dresses since this silhouette looks beautiful on every woman and will pair beautifully with that gorgeous Derby hat (please check my dress section for more dresses)!

Without further adieu, here are a few must have a-line dresses just in time for the 2016 Kentucky Derby (142nd run for the roses). PS: These dresses are also perfect for Steeplechase, wedding guest season and more!

Must have a-line dresses in time for the 2016 Kentucky Derby!
