I loved this dress from the moment I saw it hanging in the store! It is so unique and flattering and I received about 100 compliments on it. I knew I would probably sell it back so the original hem was kept, therefore, you can tailor it to the length you prefer. Ties were added for a bustle and cups were put in. My wedding was inside and the dress was professionally cleaned, so there are no marks or stains whatsoever. The inner mesh skirt was removed to make it more comfortable and lay nicer without being so poofy; however, if that is your style, you can have one easily sewn back in. The sash was also professionally cleaned and will come with the dress. I hope you enjoy this dress as much as I did!
