This dress is rather simple yet very beautiful in my opinion. The vertical texture really give it a pleasant look. Her nearly white skin tone actually works well with this particular shade of red. The high cut in the leg is almost predictable yet this dress really dominates in making it not seem too outstandishly high.
Bwren, I feel the opposite. You know I am normally a fan of Indian beauty and elegance, but I must say that this dress is a turnoff. Excuse my opinion, but it is just too 'easy' and lacks the quality design that should go in a formal gown.
