I bought this dress at a sample sale and fell in love with it-- then fell out of love with it. It's a beautiful dress, but it doesn't suit my personality or my event at all. I hate making snap decisions! I bought the dress, very excited about it, and a day later I looked at the pictures of me in it and thought 'Whose dress is that? That's not mine?'

I truly felt like a princess in this dress (I'm just not the princess type lol). The lace is absolutely beautiful: they call the color of the lace "whisper"-- It's a faint, faint blue that makes it feel so unique, like a super subtle something blue (it was a major reason I bought it!). I had such a hard time finding a dress with bishop sleeves that weren't too puffy, and this dress NAILS that! The skirt is so full and lush-- big running-through-a-castle energy! I love the defined waist. The dress fit perfectly as a size 16; the material has some stretch to it, a bride with a larger bust than me (38C) might have it fit even better. The lining of the dress is "light nude."

This dress is a sample, it has some minor wear that will need some tlc before the big day, but nothing that deterred me from buying it. The button loops on the sleeves need repair and, like any sample, you'll want to dry clean it before the big day. I've kept it in a garment bag since I tried it on, no other wear has come to it following its life as a sample.
