Is this dress worth it for a formal wedding?

Yes, if you want sleeves, a V-neck and a long ruffled skirt without a high price. The soutache bodice reads dressy enough for black-tie optional events.

How does it fit compared with a standard size?

The empire waist sits high under the bust and the skirt flows loose below it, so it is forgiving through the middle. Check the size chart and reviews for the specific color, since sizing feedback varies.

Can I machine wash it?

No. The care label says hand wash in cold water and lay flat to dry. Machine washing or tumble drying can distort the ruffles and soutache.

What shoes and undergarments work with it?

A long gown hides the shoes, so heels or flats both work. The V-neck and puff sleeves leave room for a regular bra rather than a strapless one.

When is the price lowest?

Formal dresses like this usually drop after the holiday and wedding season, in January and late summer. Ask our agent to check the price history before you buy.
