Paid $248 for this beautiful dress that works for black tie, black tie optional, or a sleek and modern bride or bridesmaid! Beautiful color - it is a nice taupe with a bit of pink undertone. Dress is in great shape (only worn once), but please note photos showing wear. The wear is unnoticeable when the dress is on, IMO, but wanted to be sure to show it! Smoke-free, pet-free home. If you find a few things in my closet, I’ll offer a discount! Happy poshing!
