I purchased 5 different dresses for my son's wedding. Now I have several dresses with tags that I cannot return. I am hoping to help someone get a brand new beautiful dress at a fraction of the price. This gown has the beautiful off the shoulder neckline. A front slit, with gathering both in the front and back to give stretch and hide some of our flaws. lol It is covered in a sequin type, that makes it look metallic. No alterations have been made. Purchased from Dillards.
