1. Betsey Ruched Dress by Kiyonna
I’ve been in awe of this dress ever since Kiyonna first launched in a few months back. Once the launched the ‘Maraschino Cherry’ version of this dress it made it the ideal party dress for the Holiday season. I love the style, and the ruching detail along the body of the dress – ruching is a very forgiving feature and helps hide any bumps you’d rather hide. The V-neckline adds a sexy touch to this dress, while the sleeves keep it elegant and chic. I simply adore this dress and am itching to get it myself! It’s available in size 0X (10/12) to 5X (30/32).
