Originally, I had settled for a budget dress and tried to love it. I didn't.. I probably tried on 5 gowns - some Maggie's, some not. Desirae wasn't anything like what I had imagined I would wear, but when I put her on - I just didn't want to take her off. Everyone (customers included) in the store commented on how stunning the dress looked on me. It was just meant to be! I would wear it everyday if I had the occasion to. AMAZING. Comfortable. PERFECT!
