Every single guest told me they loved this dress. I was beyond comfortable. The corset back means no bra required. The thick fabric means no spanks or crinoline. I crouched, danced, and sat with ease. It is super thick fabric that is referred to as scuba. It is almost foam like, but so elegant. Had a corset added and would fit Street size 8 to 14. It has minor dirt stains on bottom of dress from dancing/walking. No other stains, damage at all. Will also add in veil with purchase. Trust me, this dress makes you feel like a princess, but without all the fuss of being uncomfortable.
