This dress was truely my dream dress!! Vera Wang dresses are just amazing! The mikado silk and the fit of this dress is stunning and like no other dress or material you will find. Especially in photos this dress really looks spectacular, the silk shines! I would love to keep the dress, although I would really love for another bride to wear her Vera Wang dream wedding gown! The dress was purchased in 2013 and my wedding was just a few weeks ago.
The dress comes with a gorgeous sash which was hand sewn onto the dress and can easily be removed if you prefer. The dress also comes with a gorgeous extended detachable 24" organza train custom made for the dress. It really makes the dress have an elegant and more dramatic feel.
The dress will be cleaned specifically by J.Scheer who is the only cleaning company that Vera Wang stores recommend and only use for their dresses. They use only organic materials to clean the dress and clean the dress by hand. I was told the Ethel must be cleaned by a company familiar with the fabric or else the mikado silk may become discolored and ruffles damaged. This is a large added expense although I want the new bride of this dress to feel completely comfortable and confident in the condition and quality of care of this special dress!
