This dress was worn for approx 1 hour - ceremony and photos - before changing into the party dress (so it is very lightly used). 100% silk. It is in perfect condition, not have a single imperfection. It was altered from original size 8 down to more of a street size 4, but given the seams and lines in the bodice further alterations could be simple. The skirt of the dress was hemmed a bit shorter (could be taken down), but the original ruffled overlay is in tact. It was preserved by a professional cleaner immediately after the wedding.
