This colour and design is a real show stopper, it is purple with a blue hue in different light, I felt fabulous in this dress.

Though i have worn once, it was only for about 4 hours, the inside is immaculate, and the ouside has a newness also about it, there isn't any wear to the dress as in plucks etc., though there are a few slight defects on the fabric (possibly from being stored. It was purchased perfect from a boutique) to point out but i personally don't think this will detract from the dress as they don't stand out. There is so much ruching there it detracts from any imperfections.

 I have kept it stored in a suit bag with tissue, i think maybe the marks are from storage somehow.

The first is actually under one of the ruches at the front (second picture, watermark) so this cannot be seen unless you lift it up. There are also a couple on the back, please see pictures.

However, on the shawl you can see, these may be water marks, it does state not to professionally dry cleaned but professionally spot clean. If you wanted to try to have these marks removed if you wanted to wear the shawl.

Beautifully made, there is quite a weight to the dress and is fully lined.

Both Straps are detachable by a sturdy hoop and fitting, there are two to adjust.

Please message me if you have any questions, hopefully you can see what you need from the pictures.
