Worn once by mother for my wedding. Nothing is broken or ripped, there are no stains, and our tailor reinforced the edges of the dress with stiff horsehair (similar to what is done for all wedding dresses) and the stitching in the dress before the wedding to ensure it holds up well. It has been professionally dry-cleaned right after the wedding. I included actual photos from my mom wearing the dress at my wedding so you can see the color in different lighting. COLOR Oyster (the pictures do not do the color of this dress justice. In person, it has a iridescent- like shine that is gorgeous! It also can match gold or silver aesthetics/ jewelry) Dramatic ruffle detailing adds elegance to this metallic ballgown, designed with a beaded band to define the waist. (This dress made my mom look like she has curves! It snatched her in all the right places and was loose on the right places too!) One-shoulder neckline Shoulder strap Concealed back zip Banded waist Front slit with cascading ruffle Pooled back hem Lined Polyester Dry clean Imported A-line silhouette Mom's measurements: 5'7" tall (Dress was fitted to this height but maintained a short train, since it is a gown after all!)
