I bought this dress on a whim for a spring wedding - wasn't sure if I wanted to keep it at first, but tried it on once it arrived. Wow! I'm in love! I got the blue and it's the most beautiful bright blue, leaning slightly towards sapphire. I was worried it would be too bright, but it really has a gorgeous, elegant sheen. The bodice drapes beautifully and the waist ties to adjust the size without looking bulky. This dress looks expensive. Can't wait to wear it to a wedding, and hopefully find some gardens to stroll through, some beautiful places to have brunch, and some fields to play in this beautiful dress this spring and summer! ;-)
