I'm from California but I was spending a few days in New York in August 2013 after returning from a trip abroad. My cousin who lives in New York thought it would be fun to dress shop at Kleinfeld's while I was in town. I hadn't actually planned to buy anything from there, but when I tried this dress on I couldn't walk away from it. It was simple but classic - exactly what I was looking for. And I loved that it had buttons down the back (but has a zipper for easy dressing and undressing), and that it could be dressed up with accessories. I purchased the dress and wore it to my ceremony and reception in March 2014. The dress has been thoroughly cleaned since the wedding and is in excellent condition.
