It has been cleaned and is ready to wear immediately. The lace is also beautifully intact. How about this for a spring or summer wedding reception dress? The light blue lace dress is lovely. The hem is slightly sheer, which is stylish. The lining is substantial, so the torso area is not see-through. It also has sleeves, making it a very elegant item. What do you think? As an aside, I am also selling a pochette-style bag on the same site. I can offer a discount if you purchase them together.
