@thumper1, that is really beautiful!
I got the lavender. It’s perfect for our late spring wedding. I wanted lavender, some kind of sleeve and a nice flow!
Oh and GREAT sale too.
Friend with excellent taste helped!! 
It looks perfect! I saw that dress in the same color a few weeks ago, it was beautiful. Congratulations.
Hooray!
Beautiful dress, @thumper1
I love it, @thumper1 !
Congrats! Perfect color. Well done.
@Consolation and others.
Geez…on the link I posted, the dress is shown in blue and silver/grey only.
The one I got is a very nice lavender color…and I can’t seem to find a picture of it! But I love the color…and that’s part of what sold me on the dress.
Hooray!!
Very pretty dress. Looked lilac on my screen and I could switch to dove or blue. Beautiful color
Lilac on my screen, too, and just lovely.
Same here! I saw a lilac dress.
Oh good! All I got was the dove…and blue.
I have light blue eyes…and good coloring for a lilac color dress.
Now all I need is shoe ideas @BunsenBurner what about a strappy silver heel? I have really cute silver ballet flats with an embellishment that will be perfect for dancing!!
I wish I could share some strappy heels from my closet but they all are size 40. Will be on it later tonight - guests are coming, and I need to buy a desert!
No problem. If it’s strappy silver shoes…I have those!!
Classy dress @thumper1, what I like to call simple elegant.
I love the interest of the contrasting necklines - scoop in front and V in the back.
Pretty dress. The site suggests these pretty floral sandals/shoes.

For me only dove and blue were listed but then one of the small pictures was the lavender. I really like the back. Simple and elegant. (As mominva already said!)
IMO, you can’t go wrong with strappy silver sandals. Especially if you can shop for them in your own closet!
Thumper, do you need Spanx? A bra that’s cut low in the back? Once I found my dress, the undergarments turned out to be a challenge. (I needed a super low plunge bra.) Make sure you’ve got all the right pieces!
