If you're attending the Kentucky Derby this weekend — or simply looking to channel the same Southern style at whatever themed fete you've got planned — you are going to need the perfect dress.

We've scouted the frocks . . . all you'll need now is the perfect hat [1] and, of course, an ice-cold mint julep.
