I purchased this dress for an outside wedding in July. It was perfect. The dress was light but not too clingy. I had packed it and drove 12 hours. When we got to the hotel I hung it up. The next morning when I went to get ready for the wedding I was prepared to iron the dress, but it didn't have a single wrinkle. I received tons of compliments from family and strangers. The price couldn't be better. This dress was appropriate for the wedding or any other occasion or event. This was definitely a good investment!
