Needs dry cleaning this dress is authentic it has a tiny spot from cake on it. I’m not sure if it would come out during dry cleaning - it’s a beautiful dress these dresses retail for 6 000 up. Someone deserves to wear this beautiful dress on their wedding day. Not everyone can afford another’s interpretation of worth. I began wearing second hand clothing as necessary for my self and understanding of my true self. The hard work a seamstress puts into each garment we wear. I think- Wow!
