It is long and two piece. The top has spaghetti straps (which will require upper body toning exercises for the next 4 weeks), and the fabric on the top has tucks and pleats all over, and is fitted. (Flurry has been advised that I will be braless for the occasion.) The skirt is the same fabric, but doesn't have the tucks and pleats. It is straight, then flairs out slightly at the bottom and is slightly longer in the back. It is a dark sapphire color, almost purple. After the wedding we will have to post a pic of us in all our finery.

I'm trying to figure out how I can fit a beach towel into an evening bag. But he will be handsome in his tux, though. It is black with a platinum vest and tie.
By the way, the idjit that was spouting off about my marital status, today questioned why I need a petite size dress. Mind you we were standing next to each other. She asked, "Aren't you at least as tall as me?" She is 5'5" by the way. stoopid!
