This was the FABULOUS ... Mother of the Bride dress.. for the outdoor wedding in Seattle in September!  I cannot even count how many compliments I received, and some asked where I found it!  I told them AMAZON of course, as the bride works at their headquarters!  If the Bride approves, and it is in PETITES!!!!!!.... I said: THIS IS IT :) (fyi: it is not itchy, nor does it wrinkle!  WIN/WIN! :)  The sparkles shimmered all day in the  sun, and all night at the reception!  PERFECT!  Thanks Alex Evenings company..... WELL DONE for a very important day in one's life!!!!!
