I tried this dress on at the very first wedding dress shop I went to. It was the last of about 14 that I had tried on, as as I was slipping it on I fell in love. I couldn't explain to you before I got engaged what my dream dress would be, but it easily was this dress. My style is pretty simple and I felt like this dress embodied that as well as gave a nod to vintage (which I love as well).
The pictures listed here are not actually of me, but of my good friend that got married in the same style dress last year. She also has a sweetheart top that she had altered for her. I actually don't have any professional photos of my dress yet as my wedding happened only a few weeks ago. If you are interested in the dress I would be happy to send you iphone images or photos that I could get from one of my family.
It has been professionally cleaned and has no stains. There is one or two small areas that need some stitching to join a split the crochet pattern. I didn't even see it until I took the dress in to get cleaned because the pattern disguised it. Other than that small repair job, it's in the condition that I bought it.
