There's not denying it: ruching has a way with romance. As long as you don't go the 80s route of this classic fabric treatment, ruching can be feminine and sexy. This is also a Fab way to play up those curves. Take this Zac Posen dress below - it may not look like much on the hanger but slip it on and it hugs in all the right places. So the lesson is: when attempting romantic ruching make sure fit is perfect, the color is right and the mood is love.
