I bought this dress at David's Bridal ( along with a black sash and the corresponding slip (size 8) ( that helps make the dress look even fuller and more dramatic. I later decided to go with a chocolate brown sash that the woman who did my alterations made for me. It's chocolate brown on one side and tan on the other. I can include all four items (dress, slip, sashes) when I ship to you.
The dress is absolutely stunning. The flower-like draping of the skirt is amazing and makes a real statement. I loved it more and more every time I put it on.
I only wore the dress for about 5 hours. We did quick photos (about 2-2.5 hours for getting ready, first look and formal pictures) and had a short ceremony (about 30-45 min). I had to travel from where I was getting ready to the formal pictures to the ceremony and then back to where I was getting ready. Right after getting back from the ceremony, I changed into a different dress for the reception, so there were definitely never any food or drink stains on the dress.
