This dress was special ordered (not off the rack) and was not altered except to add a bustle. The tag size is 14 but it fits more like a 10 or 12. It has been worn once, immediately dry cleaned and has been preserved since that time.
The dress is ivory/cafe and has a very romantic feel - the amount of compliments I received (at the bridal store, dress maker, wedding and from the photographers site) was overwhelming. It was a very comfortable dress to wear and dance in. I would love another beautiful bride-to-be to enjoy it.
