RDM1261 is a fitted mermaid bridesmaid dress with cold-shoulder straps and delicate beading tracing the neckline, in burgundy. She holds close through the body before flaring gently at the hem — a more grown-up silhouette than the usual flowing bridesmaid cut. Try her if your bridesmaids want fitted and flattering rather than floaty.
