Such a pretty dress. Bought this as a wedding dress because we had talked about going to the courthouse on short notice, but we ultimately decided to have a six-month engagement, and my father wanted to buy a fancier dress, saying "We can do better." (But I kept looking back to this dress as the pattern, and the dress I ended up with his basically a much more expensive version of this dress.) Might use this as a reception or get away dress. It will need to be hemmed. There is also something strange about the way the liner is sewed into the waist right about belly button height that is noticeable to a sharp-eyed observer. I never worn a vbac before and it feels a little strange to me, but I think that's just the style.
