51040 - Fringed Spaghetti Strap Cocktail Dress

I ordered this dress as a possible wedding dress—second wedding at the beach and theme is shades of blue. I'm a big girl 14/16 and in my 50s so I really wasn't expecting this to work. The minute I put it on my daughter and I were shocked. It's looks amazing! Beautiful, sexy-but-not-too-sexy, and fits really well. I've decided it will be my reception dress rather than the ceremony dress—ceremony is late afternoon and this feels like an evening gown. Reception is at night under the stars.

The fabric of this dress is so beautiful and the sequins and beading exquisite. I feel just beautiful in it. It is ridiculously long and I have to investigate having it hemmed, but that doesn't quell my excitement for this dress.
