I only wore this dress for a few hours for my rehearsal dinner. I got endless compliments and have had a lot of people message me on Facebook asking me where I got it. It is in perfect condition. The bow is removable if you want to wear it around for photos and then take it off for dinner. I ended up keeping it on the entire night. You will not regret wearing this outfit for your rehearsal dinner or your wedding reception dress or even a shower!
