They say that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but who could think of a better name for Nancy Rose's self-titled line of ethereal dresses and tunics? Rose creates each of her romantic collections for the modern goddess, and is inspired by everything from paintings to fairytales. It's fitting then that wispy fabrics, loosely draped silhouettes, and fanciful patterns culminate in this line of graceful, elegant looks.
