I never wore this dress because I injured my back right before my wedding and had to go with a slip dress I bought a few weeks before (I couldn't have anything tight as it tweaked my back). The dress is made of duchess italian satin -- it's flawless. The fabric was imported from Italy for my dress. Dropped waist, slim through the torso, and then a-lines a bit but not overly poofy at all. The designer is Atelier des Amis, a very well known designer in San Francisco. 

Happy to answer any and all questions -- I truly LOVED this dress and was so, so, so disappointed not to be able to wear it. When I tried it on for my husband to photograph (so I could post), he actually teared up when he saw me in it! He said it was one of the most stunning dresses he's ever seen.
