This was the first dress I tried on—I loved it instantly. It feels modern, but also like a true wedding dress. It has spectacular detail—and no built-in padding at the chest, so you can add your own! I am pretty sure I have the sizing right, but I don’t want to unpack it! I am close to 5’5″ with a small chest and weighed about 125 at the wedding.
I had the dress cleaned after my wedding in 2009 and it has been in the preservation box provided by the dry cleaner ever since. It has been in a dry, smoke-free space.
