I purchased this dress used once before me. I ended up getting pregnant and was 10 weeks pregnant at my wedding (this dress was good luck!) It's pretty stretchy so it wasn't an issue or tight at all. The girl I bought it from had ordered it new directly from Grace Loves Lace.
I have already had it dry cleaned by a chemical-free cleaner and it's ready to go! One thing to be aware of, because these dresses are hand-made.. the lace is very fragile. When I received the dress I noticed certain spots where the lace had stretched thin or wasn't PERFECTLY even as I had expected. Upon trying it on, these small details were NOT noticeable at all. The train is 120cm and the lining of the dress is the soft Ivory color. I'm 5'5" and wore platform heels that made me 5'8". The length was perfect. Using a low-heat iron I was able to make the lace trim look the best :)
The train has a bustle already installed and it's SO flattering on the backside!! I received COUNTLESS compliments during the wedding and after as well.
