This dress reminds me of Grace Kelly’s white dress in “To Catch A Thief”.

I tried on over 50 dresses and fell in love with this one because it is formal, yet comfortable. I had a traditional Catholic wedding, but I wanted a great party dress. I felt like a goddess on my wedding day and it was so much fun to dance and twirl layers of silk chiffon!
Sadly, I live in a tiny Manhattan apartment and it isn’t realistic to store it. Plus I want someone else to enjoy it as much as I did!
Description:
Silk-satin faced chiffon twist front gown with jeweled sleeves.
It is almost identical to the one Olivia Wilde wore to the 2008 Emmy Awards:
