For the proud parents, friends or family members, you can help your future graduate prepare for all the post-grad bashes they’re about to attend! If you’re on the hunt for a daytime dress you can wear for picnics, BBQs or even something to wear under your graduation gown (especially if you have a morning to mid-day ceremony), Abraham’s selection of boutique dresses for casual to semi-formal wear that are flattering and fashionable. 

This Karlie Sequin Wrap Dress gives off just enough shimmer and shine for a glamorous look without being too formal or over-the-top. For a more beachy look that fits right into your spring or summer collection, go for the Stripe Tie Dolman Sleeve Dress, a billowy and classy, yet fun and flirty, daytime dress that you can fancy up or wear casually. For a semi-formal dress, you can wear the BB Dakota Lost in Lace or the Eliza J Open Lace Dress with Cap Sleeve for a feminine and elegant dress, which would work well with more formal settings. 

If you’re going all out with your post-grad glow-up, you can doll up in our special occasion and formal dresses, such as the Karlie Sequin One Shoulder Dress and the Flutter Dress. For the graduating ladies, we hope that we can be a part of your get-ready routine when you’re enjoying your post-grad parties and events.
