I tried the dress on for sizing and was amazed at the feel and fit of the dress. It is incredibly soft, lightweight, and comfortable. It drapes nicely over the body and is quite flattering.
The dress is in excellent condition. It has no damage, stains, or odors. The velvet is in excellent condition and has not thinned in any areas. The white showing through on some photos is due to the white of the mannequin and the way the camera picks up the light.
The dress has been professionally dry cleaned and is ready to wear.
It is so hard to photograph black dresses, and especially black velvet. Some of the photos have been over exposed so you can see the features of the dress. Please let me know if you have any questions.
