My experience:

I fell in love with this dress the first time I saw it and on my wedding day I liked it even more! It was super comfortable, light and the fabrics are very high-quality. I love that you can wear it in different ways for different looks. I wore the sleeves on my shoulders for the ceremony and then clicked them off for the reception's strapless look. I had the train down for photos and the ceremony and then used the buttons to pick it up.
I received lots of compliments about the colour and the detail in it!

Dry cleaned and pressed:

I wanted to make sure the future owner of this dress gets it in the beautiful condition that I did when I purchased it in the London boutique so I had it professionally dry cleaned the next day with the most complete package available. They did an amazing job!
This beautiful dress is in excellent condition. The colours and pattern are immaculate. Small micro tearing in the lower skirt of the dress (netting) - see video for exact condition :)

I hope it soon becomes someone else's dream dress

Alterations

- Bone structure upgraded from soft bands to stiffer more supportive ones to make it super flattering. Best decision ever! Comfort was not compromised.
- Adjusted to my height with heels.
- Hook (button) to lift the train as needed for ease of walking around
- Wrist ribbon: "strap" at bottom of train to allow you to 'carry it' when it's not buttoned up
