First things first, an explanation of the price. The dress was originally bought for $600; that extra $350 is the price of the sash that was bought to go with it ("At First Blush" sash from BHLDN).
The story: I couldn't go to an actual store to try on this dress, so my mom went to a BHLDN in Houston and ordered it (along with a sash) for me. When I received the dress and tried it on, I immediately loved its color (sort of between ivory and pale ecru) and its simplicity of style. The light boning in the bodice was great, and the inner skirt layer was enough of a lining to keep undergarments from showing through. I thought this would be great for the outdoor wedding we had originally planned. But our plans changed and, long story short, I no longer need this dress. My loss could be your gain?
