I wore this amazing dress for my daughter’s wedding, as the Mother of the Bride. It came in second place to the Bride herself. Alterations were made taking in the shoulders, shortening the sleeves, and a good four inches off the hem, as I am a petite. It was the most gorgeous dress I have ever worn! Heavy but comfortable, moveable, and easy to dance in, if you can imagine that. The little bit of trail behind was elegant, dramatic, and the perfect touch for this mid-January Wedding.
