I could go on and on about how magnificent this dress is. If you are looking for a classic, timeless, beautiful, flattering, comfortable dress, this is it.
Here are just some of the things I love about it:
-The dress is incredibly light and airy. I got married in late spring, so I knew I wanted something that would not feel heavy and cumbersome. This dress felt sheer and lightweight.
-The train is just long enough to make the dress feel like a wedding dress but not too long that you'll trip over it. Also, it bustles up beautifully.
-The detail on this dress is gorgeous. The lace is understated but elaborate, the tulle neckline is elegant, the pearl buttons on the back are sophisticated, and the lace petals on the sleeves ties it all together.
There are no tears or rips in the dress at all. The one thing I want to mention is that although the dress was thoroughly dry-cleaned, there are still some faint marks on the lace at the very bottom of the dress from dirt. This is pretty typical for used wedding dresses; the moment the dress touches the ground in the outside world, it gets dirty. These small marks are not noticeable and can only be seen if you pick up the skirt and closely examine the bottom fringe. Pictures available upon request.
I would happily keep this dress forever, but it deserves to be worn by someone else who will get as much joy from it as I did.
