Xscape Dresses represent a bold and exciting collection of exquisite yet affordable women's evening wear. Designed by Joanna Chen, the line features eye-catching colors and fabrics accompanied by imaginative and flattering styling. From the quintessential and dramatic little black dress to a stunning full-length gown, sizes from petite to plus, embellishments like roses, beads and sequins, and colors ranging from victorian rose to hot royal, the Xscape collection has something for everyone. Short or long, bright or black, you're sure to be stunning and sexy in an Xscape Dress!

Colors and Fabrics

With a variety of vivid colors to choose from in an array of fabulous fabrics, Joanna Chen's Xscape collection excels in offering a stunning selection of evening wear.

Fabric choices range from taffeta, satin, lace, knits and chiffon. Colors are chosen for harmonious impact: cheerful and bright to harmonize with the sheen of certain fabrics, quintessential black for drama, neutrals to complement the boldness of unusual designs.

Rich pairings combine to equal more than the sum of the parts, such as the timeless synergy of black lace over a nude underlay which masters illusion in a comfortable cap-sleeve dress, or the bold drama of white over black.

Basic Design Elements

A range of necklines are found in the Xscape collection, running the spectrum from strapless to one-shoulder to two-shoulder sleeveless to full shoulder coverage. A variety of flattering waistlines and various gathers and pleats can be found in the line.

Many dresses in the collection are at-the-knee or above. This popular cocktail-length is versatile for many occasions. For a more formal look, Xscape delivers several choices in full-length dresses. Enchanting mermaid hemlines are frequently complemented by equally creative bodices and waistlines. A few full swaying gowns are available as well to round out the collection.

Sophisticated Designer Details

Along with the variety in basic design elements to choose from, dresses by Xscape explore originality in a number of imaginative ways. You will find beaded appliques and sequins embellishing necklines and bodices. A bouquet of fabric roses serves as both function and floral form in a number of their one-shoulder dresses. Those seeking a look of casual, sharp and simple lines in basic black will not be disappointed either as there are several styles matching this look as well.

A term called "ruching" is a recurring word found in the descriptions of many Xscape dresses. It is a technique of gathering fabric which serves multiple purposes: it adds visual interest to the garment by creating an imaginative 3-dimensional wave-like look, and strategically placed it is flattering to the figure in that it favorably highlights and accentuates your natural curves.

One-Shoulder Dresses

Xscape features a number of distinctive one-shoulder dresses, which blend the sensuality and sophistication of a strapless with the wearability of a more supportive style. Several designs feature embellished or floral features, transforming the shoulder into a feature to accentuate with fabric jewelry and not just a place to situate a strap.

Some of Xscape's one-shoulder wonders include the awesomely asymmetrical draping of hot royal blue chiffon in a cocktail-length beaded shoulder dress, to a flatteringly ruched and uniquely cascading draped "batwing" sleeve adorning a cocktail-length dress of shiny gold knit fabric.

Petites to Plus Sizes

The Xscape collection features several dresses in plus sizes, making beauty accessible to all shapes. Petites will also find several offerings in their sizing.

Affordability

With most regular prices ranging from $150 to $200, you do not have to sacrifice your wallet for beauty.
