I purchased this dress for my wedding at a local bridal salon here in central Texas. Although I loved the dress, I had also had my eye on another dress that had a lower back to it. I had this dress special ordered and when it came in, it was too big as I had lost more wedding weight than anticipated. In the meantime, I purchased the other dress. I had my eye on and ultimately, I ended up going with the other dress for my big day. This dress is brand new and I have only tried it on one time when I got it. I have the receipt from the bridal salon and am more than happy to answer any questions.
