This dress was purchased at Davids Bridal. I wore it at my wedding July 2014, and it was amazing. The dress was wore for both the ceremony and the reception. It looked GREAT! I felt like a beautiful princess, and it is very figure flattering.
The dress did not get any alterations, but I purchased the dress with an extra 5 inches length at the bottom. I am 6' tall, and I wore a 1 inch heel. Also, I had a sheer, ivory sash/belt sown into the dress right under the breastline. It broke up the length of the dress and really added a beautiful touch!
The dress was cleaned at a dry cleaning studio in my area. It has been stored in the bag that I purchased to protect the dress. the bag zips all around, therefore, the dress is fully protected.
