This is just one of those dresses that takes your breath away and is perfect for any special occasion. Colleen features a very full double layer skirt with the under layer showing off a pretty ruffle. The over skirt is open in the back to show off the underskirt. This dress has a pretty neckline and buttons down the back of the bodice. However, there is no doubt that the star in this show is the gorgeous sash that ties into a beautiful bow with lovely long tails and can be tied in either the front or the back of the dress!
