This ended up being the truly perfect dress for my romantic fall wedding. The long train is exactly what I wanted. I had it altered to fit perfectly in the bust so that I didn't have to figure out how to wear a bra with it too! It's a Petite 8, and doing that meant that I didn't have to alter the length at all. I had it bustled in the back so I could pull up the train for the dance floor. I also liked the longer bodice as it gave me more shape than the shorter ones. It is a pretty heavy dress (but that was exactly what I wanted in the Fall). And the beading is truly beautiful!
I have not dry-cleaned it. I have read too many horror stories about it. This is something you would want to do upon receiving it.
