I had an AMAZING wedding day in this gown, but I don't want it to just hang, sadly in my closet never to be used again. It's taken me two and a half years to let it go! Pronovias is marked as an A+ brand for style, price, and quality in the Oprah's Bookclub book, Bridal Bargains.
I am 5'9 and wore a half inch heel for the wedding. The dress would be a perfect length for someone in the 5'7-5'9.5 range (Maybe 5'10 if you wear flats, or you could get it shortened if you're smaller than 5'7). I'm a street size 10/12, but was definitely a size 10 for the wedding.
I've had it dry cleaned and pressed. It looks like new. The inside of the train is a little discolored from dragging on the ground outside, but is completely unseen bustled or down. The bustle is tied and even has blue ribbon for your something blue. The fabric is lace alternating with tulle. It's very fashion forward, but you can dress it down for something more casual (at the end of my ceremony I changed into sparkly Toms).
Bottom line, I really want someone else to have a great memory in the dress and I feel like my wedding will bring you luck because it was such a fabulous night.
