I was at a bridal salon in Chevy Chase and saw this dress- the ball gown shape, pockets and silk mikado material were so beautiful that I purchased it right then! I bought the sash on Etsy for $100 because the dress did not come with the sash shown in the pictures.
I had planned to wear two dresses on my wedding day, but the morning of my nuptials it was raining and I decided that instead of risk getting two dresses messy in the rain, I chose to wear just one, leaving this beautiful dress unworn and completely preserved. I still love this gown- I was holding onto it just in case I had a black tie event that I could wear it to, but alas, it is time to find another bride to fall in love with this dress to wear for their most special day!
