Wore this dress for my brother’s wedding at two weeks post partum. This dress was breezy enough for an Alabama July wedding and forgiving for my rapidly changing body at that time and was very nursing friendly. I did unfortunately rip the outter layer on that day because it was very long and I didn’t have the time nor energy to get it altered as I should have. The rip is below where the lining sits so could certainly be removed if you shorten the dress. I personally think you could even have it fixed because with the texture and sparkle, snags and such are just not very visible. Stunning dress and amazing versatility for those of us needing something beautiful yet comfortable. Tried to price accordingly.
