What a great dress for that lovely occasion. It's hot somewhere in the world. This dress is inspired by the 50's. I found this dress at a church sale in Sunset Beach North Carolina. All the dresses were $5.00 each and I got several for my boutique ThriftyGurl. This dress is on sale at https://style.ly/boutique/Kat-Smith-7443, my Style.ly boutique. This dress had no damage at all, so selling it will be easty. Size is a 12, but I put this belt around the waist and it formed to my body. Fabulous. I love the innocents of this dress and lord knows I'm not innocent. The color is a peachy/pink satin. I paired it with some great mauve pumps with a thicker heel. I don't really like to wer thinner heels because I'm on my feet. No pain no gain is not my moto. At 48 this style is very appropreate for me. Enjoy
