Meryl Black Button Down Midi Dress

This season, cocktail dresses in fabrics like silk, chiffon, and velvet add a touch of elegance without sacrificing comfort

Option:Medium (UK 12/14) With Embroidered Trousers

Always bring/wear sunscreen (this version is my current fave), shoes that can be worn on grass and to help with divot stomping (I wore these gold heels), at least one layer (I brought this scalloped Five Mile River shawl), sunglasses (it gets SUNNY), a hat (the sun can truly get in your eyes), and cash (to my note above for tipping valet)

with a smooth fabric that feels comfortable and fits well without being too tight
