Rihoas The Water Ripple Textured Cami Dress

Size Range: XS-3XL | Materials: Polyester, Elastane | Length: Midi

OK, we have to say this dress looks way more expensive than just $40! The brand takes inspiration from European cinema, and we can certainly see the attention to detail from the water ripple texture to the pearl straps. Made from polyester and elastane, the dress is stretchy and comfortable. In fact, many reviewers rave it's the ideal maternity outfit to wear while pregnant. Thanks to the midi length, it's an elegant choice for your rehearsal dinner or ceremony if you prefer a shorter dress.
