Wore this to a 50th birthday birthday party three hours away on Saturday. It was a long ride; that's why I'm looking so tired. It was worth it though. We had a great time and I was blessed. Got back just in time to sleep for a few hours and get ready for church. Thank God for grace and strength and mercy.
The first time I wore the dress was for a wedding in Florida two years ago. On the morning of the wedding, I didn't know till a few hours to the wedding that the original dress I bought and took there still had the security tag on it. You can imagine the panic attack I had. It was my sister in law's wedding. They did not have Macy's in the town and no other store would take the tag off. I started looking for a new dress 30 minutes to the wedding. I finally found this one that someone had just tried on and did not like, for much cheaper ($37) versus the $80 I paid for the original dress. I also prefer this dress to the other one. Thank God again for his mercies. Phew!

Fabulous looking dress! Great color and cut. For me the most important thing in a dress is how flattering it would make the wearer and yours sweetie is spot on, so flattering and fits well. A keeper!
