@Greeneyedlady21   The dress is so special....I'll bet this is a rare find at Marshall's.   To me butterflies represent transformation...the gown is beautiful on several levels.  The design is exquisite, especially the placement of the butterflies gently in flight over the shoulders.  I also adore the soft colors of the gown...just perfect.  Are you sure there isn't a special event looming in your future?

I wish I did. Swan Lake ballet, but it's much too fancy for that. I don't, but some people wear jeans to the ballet now. I think I wouldn't like to make it shorter and lose all those butterflies on the bottom. In my dreams I'm going to the Oscars every year lol

I think I'll be settling for the $25 butterfly maxi skirt.

I love this; and I don't usually go for prints.

I was so enchanted with this dress, that I've thought of it several times, since first seeing the photo. Then a fantasy played out in my head of a nontraditional summer garden wedding.  It would be an unforgettable, symbolic wedding dress.  

"Universally the butterfly is symbolic of metamorphosis, rebirth and renewal, beauty and the transitory nature of beauty itself. There are various superstitions around butterflies. However, the most common one is that they are indication of good luck."

@BlueFinch I thought so too, I love it as a wedding dress

I definitely need rebirth and some good luck. Hope the $25 skirt will help with that.

Maybe these can scratch your butterfly itch?

If I was a talented seamstress I would be tempted to make it a short dress and use the bottom fabric to make a shawl/wrap.

its really beautiful!

@BlueFinch   I so agree.  I was about to write that it would make a lovely wedding gown.  Glad I read through the responses first.
