Fluid Gossamer Frocks

The Kaitlin McGrath Spring/Summer 2013 Collection is Sheer Perfection

Dazzling us with delicate, floor-sweeping gowns that seem to float on and around the body, the Kaitlin McGrath Spring/Summer 2013 fashion collection is certainly the envy of every Greek goddess.

Fluid forms that feature subtle ruching drape over the model in the most flattering way, creating layers and detailed texture for very eye-catching ensembles. Many of the designs feature a dramatic backless design that is incredibly sultry and seductive while still very chic and sophisticated as they are balanced out by high necklines and bold shoulders. Amidst the flowing frocks and gossamer gowns, the designer also included haute pantsuits that are loosely tailored for a very relaxed and feminine feel with a contemporary high-waisted belt line.

The Kaitlin McGrath Spring/Summer 2013 collection is simply about sheer seduction and flighty sophistication.
