I purchased this dress for the after party/reception at my wedding. I am still getting asked where it was from...it was so unique and looks REALLY expensive! If you are debating about this dress, BUY IT! It does run big, I went off the measurements on the website and I needed to take it in. I ordered an 8 because I was afraid of the dress cutting in around my shoulders/but it is is made so well, it wasn't even an issue, but I had it sized down to a 4. This was my first purchase and i will definitely be shopping for other items..the customer service is amazing! I ordered it in Ivory.
