According to J. Crew's website: "This dress is all about the shirred strapless bodice: First, our designers gathered and stitched the crinkled silk chiffon to create a cool sunburst effect, then they added a notch detail at the neckline to give the design a modern edge. The skirt's flowy, lightweight layers are ideal for tropical beach ceremonies (with jeweled sandals and one of our statement necklaces) but look equally alluring in ballrooms and backyards." Additionally, here are it's specifics: A-line silhouette. Falls to floor, 66" from high point of shoulder (based off size 6). Silk. Interior corset. Back zip. Lined. Dry clean. Import. Online only.
I loved wearing this dress for our fall barn wedding in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York. It was the perfect combination of casual and feminine. I paired the dress with a lavender floral headpiece, silver and gold espadrille slingbacks, and a silver silk sash from BHLDN with a small beaded bow. If you'd like to wear the sash as well, I'm happy to throw it in for free with the dress. It's in perfect condition and bows on BHLDN cost upwards of $450.
