This is GORGEOUS in person!! The cut is incredibly flattering and the burn-out velvet in red with the vibrant fish is-like color make it look so rich and layered. It’s VERY soft and flows beautifully over the body. And the bow just adds such a great touch. Beautiful, beautiful special dress!! This one sold out in moments when Boden originally listed it! Note that the lining is really long - almost but not quite flush with the bottom. I debated having it hemmed, but my husband said it was all in my head, so maybe it’s just me?
