⚜️1861 Cherry Blossom Tea-Length Dress With Sash

Can you marry a dress? 🤔 Because if you could, I would marry this one, I love it that much!!! This BREATHTAKING "Lou-Anna" cherry-blossom-and-bumblebee print 50s-esque dress from Boutique 1861 in Montreal is perfect for any fancy spring/summer occasion you might have coming up in your calendar - weddings, tea or garden parties, graduations, or even an event like a Kentucky Derby or Royal Ascot kind of thing! Worn exactly once by me to such a party, accessorized with a big hat, pearls, an adorable Betsey Johnson handbag, and pink Kate Spade sandals. The dress is still in immaculate condition and has been freshly cleaned. The armpits are clean, no stains or signs of wear there (see photos). The fabric has a soft, satiny feel but it's not shiny. The dress is fully lined, and there's a crinoline layer under the circle skirt as well. The sash can be tied in front or back, and looks great either way. Back zip closure. This dress would best fit someone with a small bust, an A-B cup - there's not a lot of extra room in the bodice. And there's pockets too! It's just such an utterly gorgeous and feminine dress; it has served its purpose for me, though, and while I'm tempted to hang it on the wall as art and covet it forever, this beauty deserves to be trotted out again and again, so I must sacrifice and pass it on! Measurements laying flat: 15" pit to pit, 13" across the waist, 41.5" total length from shoulder to hem. *Reposhed from @megbethune*
