Rita Lace Gown — Rød

The silk jacquard has a subtle sheen that photographs beautifully, and the mermaid cut hugs in all the right places without feeling tight. I was worried the off-the-shoulder straps would slip all night, but they stayed put through dinner and dancing.

Wore this to a black-tie wedding and got stopped three times before dinner. The off-the-shoulder straps actually stay put when you dance, which never happens. Silk jacquard has a subtle sheen in photos without looking shiny in person.
