It's Whitney and it's discontinued so you won't find it on the Maggie Sottero website, but if you type maggie sottero and whitney into google you'll find it. It is so beautiful! and CoCo/Cindy makes me sound like some crazy person that stares at dresses all day(well, right after we got engaged, maybe, lol, and probably for a few months before we were engaged) but I just have a photographic memory and I've looked at tons of maggies because I love them!

and btw I have been waiting to post this all day, that chinese weddings ordeal would only let me view, I couldn't post anything!
