Does anyone have this dress from Davids Bridal? Has anyone worn it for their wedding already? I am wondering if it stays in place all day/night or if it gets heavy and starts to fall down.

Update...the dress was great...true to size...no problems feeling like it was heavy...I danced for almost 5 hours straight! I did have problems with the bustle. It had to be an over bustle because that's what looked best with the many layers, but David's did a crap job with the bustle work and at the far right side the bustle buttons were a good couple inches lower than the rest of the buttons which resulted in dragging and made it impossible to dance without tripping all over myself. Luckily my day of coordinator had a ton of safety pins and I had my bridesmaid just start pinning the crap out of it from underneath. I haven't seen any "from behind" reception photos yet so it might have looked like a hot mess, but at least I could dance.

So note to the rest...practice your bustle when you go to pickup your dress...and if you are ballroom dancing practice walking backwards in the dress after they pin the bustle at your first alteration appointment and make sure it's all good back there.
