This Stappy Jessica McClintock Wedding Gown is fully lined and has a slip and Tulle skirt. The dress has a rear zip entry with 7 faux satin buttons in front of the zipper for quicker in and out of the dress time. There are extra buttons in the envelope package attached to it. There are two buttons in the back of the dress to adjust, the length of your train. The dress has been stored for a while, so you may want to dry clean it, but it looks fine to me. Some people wash these dresses if they know how to deal with it. it has been tried on a coule ti.es in my boutique. In my opinion, the satin looks expensive and it isn't really thin, like cheaper brands. I think it would be more comfortable than some of the strapless that you are constantly pulling it up:) I marked cream and white because in my place, it looks like a creamy white. It is not a really super white fabric. I think, in my opinion, it looks more expensive, but I don't look good in stark white, but you may look better in a really white dress. If you don't like the flower on the back or dress, you could switch that out with what you like!
