I saw an old trick on PBS once where you put the leaves in a kitchen towel, bundled up so they wont fall out and then hold each end of the towel tightly with either hand then shake the towel up and down to gently get rid of excess water
As soon as we slipped it on - we were obsessed
The shoes, the ring, the shades
Structured fabrics (better fit): Hold their shape throughout the day, preventing sagging or stretching Provide built-in support, especially around the bust and waist Smooth out your silhouette by gently contouring the body Create clean lines that make the dress look more polished and tailored Help maintain the intended design structure, such as corsets or fitted bodices Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and creases Thin fabrics (riskier): Cling closely to the body, which can highlight areas you may not want to emphasize Show imperfections such as underwear lines, seams, or uneven shaping Lose their structure quickly, especially after sitting or moving Wrinkle easily and may look messy after a short time Offer little support, making the dress feel less secure Can appear see-through or cheap if not properly lined This is why fabric matters as much as sizing
The dress features a V-neckline and short, loose sleeves with a decorative layered design
