Summer lace dresses

Whether it is the main course of a catwalk show or simply the aperitif, ladylike lace has been woven into collections everywhere this year. From the delicate lace accents that adorned the SS13 marine-themed range at Just Cavalli and Louis Vuitton's AW13 ‘lady of the night chic' creations, to the heavy lengths of all-over lace that took centre stage at the Dolce and Gabbana SS13 and Elie Saab AW13 shows, the crème de la crème of celebrity style icons including Lily Collins, Kate Perry and Catherine Zeta Jones are falling head over their oh-so-glamorous heels for this ultra-hot trend. As our addiction to lace looks set to stay for the foreseeable future, we've compiled an edit of the best summer lace dresses inspired by the catwalk and the red carpet. Read on to discover the new season lace dresses that will guarantee you a seamless transition from SS13 to AW13. Team LBD approves! DAYTIME LACE DRESSES
