Condition Used - No flaws or wear Not dry cleaned Silk fabric Alterations Hooks have been added for the bustle by the original bride in the year 2000 It still works great with photos included A hook has been added halfway down the train so you can hold it when you're getting in/out of a car on the way to the ceremony or reception In 2025, I took in the bust a little more and loosened the corset around the ribcage Cups were added that can be easily removed if not for you Additionally, I had this dress restored after being carefully preserved for 20+ years - the buttons and beautiful bows on the back were cleaned (or replaced) as needed, the dress was fully pressed, and it was hung in front of a window that had a special glass treatment to help brighten the dress This process is hugely important for bringing life back to a dress without using harsh chemicals - bleaching an old dress works but it then degrades the quality so that it'll eventually disintegrate This dress was treated with care and taken to an expert It even survived a large scale fire without any damage - feel free to ask me about this wild story
