I bought this dress brand new for my August wedding. The dress was made to order and it is from their Couture collection. They also added the cups so i did not need to wear a bra. It fitted really well. I also had the French bussom added on for dancing. It was a summer wedding and we were outside for the ceremony but the dress didn't feel hot/heavy at all. Although we were outside but the ceremony was on concrete so i did not walk on grass at all. I have also had the wedding shop professionally cleaned it.
