She said yes to the dress at FFF! “At the 2012 Fashion Fighting Famine show I was introduced to Mohajababes. When I saw the bedazzled formal kaftans floating down the runway I knew I wasn’t going to leave without one (or two). At well under $200 each they were a steal. The dresses were a hit at the wedding. I was comfortable, didn’t have to worry about how much I ate, needed very little accessories, and felt like a princess. The best part is I can still wear them. Who wants to spend hunhun dreds of dollars on a dress you’re going to wear once? I wore them during the honeymoon, out to nice dinners, and occasionally around the house when I’m feeling like a diva.” -Morgan Preciado, Zenga Zenga Beauty Fashion Blog 27
