It is a brand new 100% Silk. dress. Tags are still on. I saw the picture, months ago, fell in love with it and ordered it. It feels luxurious, light and fits beautifully. We had a change of venue for our wedding and I found another dress that is more suited for that venue. Unfortunately I have to let it go. It's too late to return it to Ann Taylor now or I would have done that. I could have shorten it to a summer dress but perhaps someone might be able to enjoy it as it and look gorgeous on their wedding day.
