Wore this amazing dress to Prom, now off to college and need it gone from my closet. The train collects dust, but it's to be expected and definently not note worthy when worn despite the train being white. It was heavy but not hot, would be great for outdoor events. Train has a little strap to attach it to your wrist so you don't have to mind it if you need. It holds its shape very well hanging. It is a lace up corset with three buttons and two hooks holding the back together while you lace. TONS of ribbon to make bows or have it trailing down if you wanted; I have it tucked in in the photos. I am 5'10 with one ince heels on in these photos and the front of the dress wasn't on the ground. Doesn't really reveal your shoes. Doesn't need dry cleaned if you're going to anything less than a wedding.
