I had to wash in cold water a number of times before wearing to take down the blue dye. Once that was done dress was wonderful to wear, great fit, comfortable.

It falls so beautifully and is exquisitely made and stitched!!!

Very nice dress. I did not like the smell of the material but I hung it up to air out and it�۪s fine now.

The dress is beautiful...but it has a strange odor...as many articles of clothing from India. The back elastic wasnt taunt...whoever sewed it make it slack...so I had to have that tailored and fixed correctly. Thats when we noticed our hands were deep blue in color. Ugh. They use indigo blue dye...which has to be washed before wearing for sure to prevent bleeding cors onto your skin. A tad bit disappointed since I planned on wearing it for my sons country barn wedding. Good points is the dress is beautiful and heavier than I expected.
