Ruffled in Red

The combination of ruffles and flowers can easily veer from feminine to saccharine, so in creating this dress, I was careful to add details that gave it a slight edge and made it entirely wearable to backyard barbecues and poolside lounging. The one-sided off-shoulder is playful ...read more
