Scarlet

I was worried about the taffeta being too stiff, but it moves beautifully and the full skirt has just the right amount of swish. The pleated bodice held up perfectly through an evening of dancing.

The Basque waist hits exactly right—slimming without digging in—and the taffeta has that crisp, swishy sound when you walk. The full skirt flared beautifully for a dinner out, and the strapless bodice stayed put all night.

I was worried the pleated bodice would feel stiff, but it moves like a dream and the Basque waist is incredibly flattering.
