I dragged my mother shopping about 12 different times to 4 stores and narrowed it down to 10 dresses, then 6 and finally 3. I was going for all lace. Then, I saw the Rhianna Royale dress and was just going to try it on for fun because it was totally different from what I had been looking for. At first, my mom wasn't sure about it. The 2nd time I tried it on, she said it was growing on her. I then brought my sister and 2 young nieces to see the top 3 lace contenders and then to see the Rhianna. They all looked at me strangely when they carried it in. When I had it on and came out, they all said that is the one! It was romantic, yet had a vintage feel and also make me feel like a princess but in a grown up way, not a disney way. It is gorgeous in champagne and I want to wear it again! We may ship it to Italy when we go on our honeymoon to take pictures there in the vineyards!
