i was quite shocked when first saw the dress as ordered in champage but very golden in colour and nothing like the one in the pic but i apsolutly love it though. its a very heavy dress so defintly need another dress for the evening . i must say i wasnt expecting the ?130 courier charge but then again if i got this dress from a bridal shop it would of cost much more . lastly i ordered the hoop recomended for this dress and must say since a large dress anyway with the hoop it was just too much so wont be wearing it with the dress .
