The halter dress is a formal dress fave because it draws attention to your face and bust. Whether the straps consist of fabric, string or embellishment like this Monique Lhuillier dress, you'll show off pretty shoulders with a halter dress. The halter silhouette looks great with hair pulled up and away from the face.
