I've always loved the blue Chinese porcelain vases. In fact I have one in my house that is used currently to hold rice. :) When my sister visited last month, we went shopping together - big surprise! I was ecstatic to see this dress hanging there so pretty! My sister saw how much I loved the dress and bought it for me as my birthday present. Thank you, sis! The dress didn't come in size 0P. The smallest it came with was a 2P. It ran just a tad big on me. I wasn't discouraged and plan to put it through a "shrink cycle" in the washer and dryer to see if it comes out fitting better. Will keep you posted. Since I delayed taking pictures of this dress for so long, I realized that it's now sold out online. However, I did find a very similar dress online here that looks just as pretty for only $17.55. I have never used AliExpress before, so I can't vouch for their quality and service. Please share you experience if you did order from them before.
