I sent the dress back to RTR as I felt the dress was not proportioned for my body; the waist was too small and the chest too big. I also wasn't a fan of the metallic detail, as it was too bold for my evening bridal shower. However, beautiful halter dress for a more proportioned body!

These Nicole Miller earrings were the perfect size and fit. I assumed they would be heavy, but surprisingly they were not at all. They really elevated my look, and made me feel very elegant! Wore them with the BCBGMAXAZRIA Mazari Palm Dress.

The fit of this Mazari Palm Dress by BCBGMAXAZRIA was true to size and even though it is fitted, it is amazingly comfortable. The material feels to light yet is very substantial and strong. I would suggest that those (like me) who run small in the chest will need a good bra to fill the top, as the chest seemed to run a bit larger. So, order a second size up if you are well endowed and a size down if you are smaller in the chest & equally proportioned in the hips. Although don't worry too much about the fit as the peplum style is so flattering, and I believe would look gorgeous on all body types. The color of this dress is also one of the main reasons I loved it. It look the classic 'white' or 'ivory' shower dress to a new level, with hints of cream/latte in the underlay and a soft lace-like overlay. I had a hard time selecting shoes with this dress just because almost every solid pump looked great! Went with a classic black patent leather pump, as it was an evening affair. Paired the dress with the Nicole Miller Southern Plantation Earrings. I felt like a very elegant and modern bride! Definitely rent the Palm for your next event.
