The stitching is impeccable. Maybe the best part of this dress is that it shows off your shoes.  I wore pink satin pumps that matched my bouquet.  They were a huge hit and I still get compliments months later on the dress and shoes (lots of references to Sex in the City). The dress is incredibly comfortable, nothing binds or squeezes you.  I wanted to be comfortable on my big day and this dress was perfect.  It is great to dance in too.  Just can't say how much I loved it.  Jason Wu is an amazing designer, the youngest to ever have his own show at Fashion Week.  Check out this dress on the runway and his other gowns.  He designs for real women.  And his dresses are seriously romantic and glamourous. http://www.weddingstylemagazine.com/evening-wear/jason-wu/s108.aspx I'm a size 10 in street clothes = 36-37 bust, 30 waist, 39 hips (can be smaller or larger in this dress). As much as I love it I've got to let it go.  It was a huge expense to have it made.  I also have a feeling that there is someone out there like me who might want a one-of-a-kind, fabulous dress.   Email me with questions.  I've got tons of photos.  I won't be offering a return so make sure to ask plenty of questions and be confident about the dress before you bid.  I will ship worldwide and charge actually shipping costs to the winner.   Place a Bid!
