This dress is so beautiful! The lace is classic while the cut of the dress is quite modern, which makes it funky. It is very comfortable, yet it still feels like you are wearing a gown. I bought this dress as a sample and it has never been worn or altered. The lace is in great shape with no visible imperfections. I professionally dry-cleaned the dress so she is clean and ready to be worn! The only reason I did not wear this dress is because our wedding got moved up to the summer and I feel like it would be a little too hot for where we are getting married. Houghton NYC is not making this dress anymore so it's a rare dress. Please feel free to reach out with questions and I am happy to send you more pictures of the gown!
