Does this dress have a stunning back plunge or something else to punch it up?<BR/><BR/>Also, I am stunned you haven't been to a white tie event! In reality most are pretty stuffy and boring.

Thanks Johanna for this entry. One question - - what the hell is "dressy casual"? I went to a wedding reception (the couple had gotten married on an island and had a dressy casual reception in the States). Is that synonymous with "business casual" or is it something more? I'd never heard of such a code until then because "dressy casual" seems to be a bit of an oxymoron???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510730519686659039.post-84902603745800026532007-12-17T09:15:00.000-05:002007-12-17T09:15:00.000-05:00I LOVE the semi-formal dress - DIVINE!I LOVE the semi-formal dress - DIVINE!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
