I'm loving your dress and glad to hear it wore well and stood the test. You are so right about the wearability factor. Standing still and taking a pic and having an outfit look great is one thing but wearing it all day and/or night is another. I too have sewn things that look great on but are definitely not comfortable to wear for hours or hold up well.
