    My wedding colors are green/blue and while I'm not a huge fan of white dresses, part of me wants to wear something white or at least crisp to my shower. When else am I going to be the sassy center of attention? (Other than the wedding of course!)

    I just found this, but I wondered what some of you ladies thought of it.

    I like that it's white and green/blue all together. I think I might wear it with a white cardigan. What do you think? I'm nervous about buying things online, but it is a really good deal and I've had good luck with dresses from there before.

    It's super cute! I love it but always consider the returns policy when buying online. Somtimes things that look good on the hanger look bad on no matter what you do! But I hope it works out. :)

    I think the dress looks great, perfect for a shower.

     If you are nervous about buying online can you go to a store and try on a dress in a similar shape to make sure it flatters you? Also see if the website has a size guide or at least a return policy in case it's not quite right.

    I love it!!! I cannot find a cute white dress anywhere. I'm super cheap and everything online is way too expensive

    Yeah, unfortunately, no sizing guide on the site. And because it's on super sale, I worry it won't be at the store. I might check tomorrow though, trying to get out of work early to run some wedding related errands.

    I think it's super cute, and you could totally wear colored heels, blue or green with it. You've found a beautiful dress!

    I think it is super adorable and you should buy it!  I would wear a cardigan in one of the colors of the dress though, instead of white.

    Well ladies, I ordered the dress last week and recieved it today.  Sadly, it will be going back.  The dress is very cute in person.  Although the belt on my dress was green, not yellow.  Also, I missed in the description that the dress is a polyester blend and for some reason, I thought it would be cotton.  The fabric wasn't bad, I was just suprised.  However, the reason the dress is going back is the pockets.  They aren't noticable in the pictures, but there are pockets right on the hips and they have some pleating on the front.  The pleating right on my hips makes them look double their size.  Even my FI thought it looked bad.  So sadly, the dress will be going back to the store.    It's a great dress if your hips are not a problem area.

    Just thought I'd let you know my experience with the dress in case anybody was thinking about ordering it.

    Yeah, I got mine today too. Totally second the pocket issue. I like it though. I'm going to try it on with spanx later to see if that helps. But for under $30, for a girl who already has a huge butt anyways (regardless of what I wear), and for a girl to rarely wears anything cute, I'm going to give it a try.

    I actually like that it is a stretch fabric, if it were a straight cotton, I don't know if I would have been able to get it over my hips. Otherwise, it might be worth it to see if my step-mom can close up the pockets and cut them out. The line they make is nice, but there is a bit of extra bulk. I'll post photos soon.
