Hello lovely ladies, the Raquel dress is the quintessential sophisticated dress that will be flattering on every body type from petite to curvy.  Inspiration comes from a dear friend who was wearing a long gown with similar seam detailing, however the styling of the dress was totally different. One look and my mind began the design dance. My friend has lovely curves and I thought, I need to do my own spin on this, such detailing can be flattering on all body types... then came off the shoulder with sleeves and a mermaid hem.  The Raquel Dress was born, it is only apropos to  name it after my friend.

The off the shoulder design is flattering, which highlights the decllotage.  Sleeves are a nice added touch in terms of coverage, yet it does not take away from the sophistication of the dress and the mermaid hem adds a flirty appeal.  Added features include front and back full lining, as well as molded bra cups.

All in all this dress is a versatile dress, be it black, "little black dress", or navy blue - either color can be paired with fun heels and accessories.  Whether it be a date night dress, wedding guest dress, or just a fun party dress.  Dress it up and style it your way!
