This dress is a very durable and resilient fabric, I traveled with it and it steamed up perfect for the day. It was worn for the ceremony and comfortable to move in. The dress has been dry cleaned by a specialist bridal cleaner, it is stored in the dry cleaning bag inside the original KWG bag to be well kept. The dress is usually sold with a belt which I did not purchase, however is available on their website. Delicate straps pair with a cowl neck in this buttery silk gown, reminiscent of the 1920’s.
