She then got it cleaned and pressed, but other than that she didn't spend any more cash on it. Julia also shared another video from the bridal suite, showing the stunning dress in more detail.

The top of the dress was tight and hugged Julia's figure, before billowing out into a full skirt. She also turned around to show the gorgeous back of the dress, which featured a massive bow.
