As described on David's site/ the dress is BRAND NEW W/TAGS. Just out of the box, hung in garment bag and in excellent condition.

The dress is a beautiful, elegant and vintage looking gown that is actually in two parts. I can't take pics that do it justice by a long shot. The inner dress is a thick-lined satin with full lace covering. The gown seems light but it is actually very heavy and can easily be perfect for a vintage fall or winter wedding for the layers. The train states chapel but seems a bit longer on the overdress. There is a slight sweep train for the underdress. Can be used even for part of a reception as well without the overdress.

There is beading on the overdress and the lace is much more delicate with detail unable to be shown in any photo. However, there is not a lot of glam to the dress.

The gown tags are for size 20 and the overdress is very full however for the full look and best form, 18 can be the best for this size and the underdress. My daughter is the one modeling this just to give a better idea. The overdress is clipped in the photos with a lot of extra room. My daughter wears a solid size 18 and there was still an inch or two to clip even with the lined underdress to not be way too loose.

Everything originally shipped to me in the box from David's is included with the dress; as pictured in the original David's ad.
