I loved this Mugler grommet mini. So much, in fact, that I almost chose it. The see-through metal adornments were just sexy enough, and the hemline hit me right above the knee. The only reason I passed on this one was because I felt like there had to be something better. The fitted look and cobalt shade were great, but the details didn't add up to "the one."

I loved this Mugler grommet mini. So much, in fact, that I almost chose it. The see-through metal adornments were just sexy enough, and the hemline hit me right above the knee. The only reason I passed on this one was because I felt like there had to be something better. The fitted look and cobalt shade were great, but the details didn't add up to "the one."

No no, my friend, no no. That's exactly what's written all over my face. Can't you tell? I couldn't even believe the Style Brigade got me into this Anthony Vaccarello leather dress. That metal piercing you see at the side was the only form of closure between the top and bottom. "Try it on," the stylists said. "It will be fun!" they said. It was definitely just for fun, as the side-boob situation and barely there fabric made for a look much too risqué.

Falling in Love With "the One"

The dress was too big at the side. The material flared out right below my arm and the buckle hung loose. Little did I know, the Armarium stylists had a solution. They took my measurements and sent the dress to a seamstress where it was tailored to fit. A temporary binding would fold and cinch the fabric. The team also worked to tighten the buckle, hooking it into another hole.

Saying Yes to the Dress

My design was accessorized with a Lee Savage Silver Cross Stack Clutch, which retails at $1,400. The rental price from Armarium is $170.
