High dress

longer just the realm of red carpets and runways, the floor-length gown that bares 

leg is another piece to get reinvented for spring 2012. Though the eveningwear

the pavement in the bright light of day - and with effortless ease. Read on to find

In 2012 things are vastly different in the floor-length dress world.
