The Dress

Official description: Ethereal frothy ballgown in floral hand printed silk organza with velvet ribbon detailed corset bodice. Has detachable fortuny pleaster organza petal sleeves.

My comments: This is THE UNIQUE DRESS of the year! So romantic, feminine and ethereal - truly a gem and something to wear if you really stand out as a unique bride and have pictures to remember forever. The bodice is sheer, however I wore nipple covers that matched my skin tone and it was perfect. I am 5 ft 9 inches and wore 3 inch heels - no need to alter the length for me. I weighed 133 lbs and had the waist taken in by .5 inches. The sleeves are in excellent condition, and the majority of the dress is in very good condition, no marks on the bodice after wearing it for only 7 hours and having it professionally dry cleaned. There are dirt marks and stains along the hem, and minor tears on the seam of the hem, but note that it's such a long, frothy and voluminous dress that these small imperfections would go largely unnoticed. A professional seamstress could likely fix these imperfections as well. Please also note that I cut off the hanger straps since the bodice is sheer and they showed through!

The sleeves are in excellent condition.
