Wore this dress for about 5 hrs. There is no stains or blemishes, it was professionally cleaned and put in one of the air tight display boxes to stop any kind of fading or damage. It was altered a little bit, I am 5 feet 2in and weighed 120lbs at the time of my wedding. I did wear a corset bra under the dress and that helped it fit perfectly. There is a train but it can be tucked under if you do not want the train.
