Sorry about the super late response. And how nice of you to send me an email just to reach out :) Yes I did call special occasions the day after I saw the picture here! At first even they didn't know which dress I was talking about, I guess it was the first time the special occasion lady became aware of it, too. Then she found it in their system and helped me order a size 2 in green. But after I saw your post about trying on the Fontaine gown and suggesting one size up, I called them and changed to size 4. It's a pre-order, so I shouldn't expect it any time soon. By the way, I hate the fact they still don't offer international shipping widely, not even after I talked to special occasion about this dress being such a special item... I'm not in a hurry or anything, I'm just fed up with having to use a US-based shipping company to receive the packages on my behalf and then deliver to me overseas, too much hassle and time wasted. By the way, in case you are wondering - I'm living in Singapore. I thought about quitting J.Crew when I moved here, but I just couldn't. Maybe you can imagine how their upgrade disaster affected me - I think more than anyone else they are driving me crazy, because I stay overseas and it's much harder for me to straighten things out when they go wrong. This is just too much stress for something as easy as online shopping, and I started getting some annoying pimples and I know it's not work-related. Ridiculous, right? Anyway, I hope I will get this dress, just think it's one of a kind. Sorry about the really long post, lol. Look forward to your picture of the Fontaine gown! Hi Leigh!

The dress is gorgeous and that's a perfect occasion. I linked to the dress under the photo. I hope you are able to get your size before it is sold out!

I have to get the beautiful forest green, and wear it for my wedding reception next year, after the ceremony in the Gracie gown of course...but I looked on line yesterday and today, didn't see it. Did you find them from J.Crew website?? Thanks, Leigh, for sharing them :) Love the short version!
