I fell in love with this dress when I saw it. I purchased it in hopes it would be as lovely when I received it as it looked online. It was! It was the perfect wedding dress for our wedding ceremony. I received countless complements on my dress. The dress can absolutely be worn for other occasions. For me, it will alway be my perfect wedding dress for our smaller and slightly more causal than the norm wedding!Too small in the rib cageThe Dress is beautiful, fit very well!!!Beautifull dress!!!Loved the material and the weight of the dress. BUT read the description. The picture does not match what i received… Very disappointed with the style I received. The picture was awesome… slim and fitted… my style.The dress is beautiful, however, it arrived snagged! Came in a plastic bag, with no care. Was a gift for my daughter, now we have to look for another dress..ugh! Will exchange this beautiful dress for the same dress, just not snagged!
