I bought this recently for a wedding ceremony as I am an officiant and generally I try to match the colors of the wedding in lieu of wearing all black. I received so many compliments on this dress ~ It's light but keeps you warm; flows with your step and gives the extra room around the waste after the reception haha ~ it's gotta be the wedding cake ~ I have since wore this for a second wedding, this time I changed it up and wore short boots and a hat ~ same thing, several compliments and oh so comfortable ~ love this boutique~
