I changed into this fun dress for my wedding reception. The dress packs some drama with its fringed sleeves and slight shoulder padding. It is the perfect balance of fun and sexy. I could not had a better time in this dress. I am tempted to keep it for other occasions, but it deserves another debut. It worked out well as a reception dress, but I can also see it at a music festival. The dress has a side zipper as well as a laced back. It has been cleaned and bagged since October 24 with no signs of wear. It is in excellent condition.
