Florals aren't just for nice girls. Indulge your darker side with nettle-tinged couture creations by
Castillo and
Christian Dior. The Castillo dress pictured below features a delicate sheath of Chantilly lace over a black A-line strapless cocktail; the Dior might require a slip, though we love the iridescent sheen of the black and caramel layered netting.
