I went gown shopping with my mom last night...and it was suppose to be just to get some ideas but I fell in love with a dress and couldn't take the chance of not finding it again (I loved this more than the Marisa gown I was contemplating over a while back) my mom loved it also...its the Grace dress by Maggie Sottero...I got it in the diamond white over light gold, it comes with the matching bag as well as the shawl, I will be adding another layer underneath to give it a bit more fullness on the bottom alos because the beads on the dress make it very heavy and the ladies at the salon told me that with an added layer it will keep the dress from falling right on top of my legs making it easier to carry... It is definately true what they say...you know when you find 'your dress'...
