I just received this dress and it is really beautiful. I had the flowers removed (flowers are sewn onto the back of a felt disc which is then sewn onto the dress, very easy to remove with just scissors). It is a very statuesque dress and makes you look very tall and slim, I really like it! And considering the cost of the dress, it looks like it could be much more expensive. The lace hem adds a nice touch. I was hesitant to purchase this at first but glad I got it, will upload the pic of the dress next week when I have it all pressed and nice!
