This was my "backup" dress for my niece's wedding. It was the suggestion of Kate, my RTR stylist, for my backup dress. And it was perfect, because the dress I chose didn't fit. It was fun and flirty and I got lots of compliments about it. The fabric is shimmery and light and feels great. Take caution with your jewelry choices, though. The mesh and baubles will catch sometimes on jewelry with beading and gems. I found this out the hard way.

This is a straight-up gorgeous dress. Not going to lie. And it fit me everywhere except one place: My lower ribcage. And since the fabric has zero give, I couldn't wear it. I can't say it's the "wrong" size, but it's not for women with longer torsos. Seriously: If the darting was 1" lower on the dress I would have rocked the heck out of it. Soo frustrating. I'm so glad my stylist, Kate, suggested a backup dress that was also gorgeous. Thank you, Kate!!!
