I originally bought this dress to wear on my Paris trip – I took it to Paris and didn’t get to wear it. Full story below.

It ended up being perfect for my birthday wedding dress shopping in NYC.

I highly recommend brunch at Laduree – ultimate gossip girl vibes. I loved it.

I went to the Madison Ave. location in the upper East side but they have a few locations in NYC.

Funny story I wanted to wear this dress in Paris. The streamer we took didn’t work. We have a wonderful large steamer at home but it’s way too large to fit into a suitcase. We bought a travel size steamer that specifically had the right voltage for Europe. It didn’t work at all. It produced zero steam. I could not get the wrinkles out of this dress and it was too wrinkled to wear. Our Airbnb in Paris has only one machine (washer and dryer combined?) Or are driers not a thing in Europe? Does everyone air dry clothing there? Im still not sure. I stuck my dress in, the buttons were all in french but with google translate some of the options sounded like they would dry. Nope. It dumped water all over my dress and another sweatshirt and I ended up having to take it home in a plastic bag soaking wet (insert crying face emoji). It did not get to make an appearance in Paris.

But it got its chance to shine a month or so later I went to NYC for my birthday to try on wedding dresses and I wore this to brunch at Laduree’s then to Kleinfeld’s <3

I loved wearing this dress! I have loved everything I’ve ordered from Commense. I have a few Commense try on hauls on my TikTok! -No commission paid for the link above 🙂 Click the image of the dress to shop!
