Personal Connection: I received this dress last year from my significant other in April of 2022 for my birthday. There were different colors available, but I was told they chose black because it was the color I wore when we first met. It is the first “high end” piece of clothing I was gifted with and by far the daintiest. Aside from my birthday I wore this dress to a new year’s party this year.
