To say this dress makes you feel stunning is an understatement! In shades of ivory this strapless, fit and flare gown with an illusion back hugs your body and makes you feel like a mermaid! The detail in the dress goes layers deep. When the sun hits it you almost seem to shimmer with all the sequenes in the underlay. The detail in the bodice with perfectly placed Guipure patters of lace give an elegant detail to the dress.
I am tall and not curvy at all and this dress gave me a silhouette that I didn't know was possible! After my wedding I had it professionally cleaned and boxed. I only opened the box to ensure cleaning and the dress came out beautifully ! I am 5'11" and wore heals that made me almost 6'3" so the dress has a lot of length to it. That also means plenty of room to have it hemmed to fit your height. The bottom of the dress does have some snagging and some light staining but it is all in the underlay and tule. Like I said I am tall and wore heals so there is plenty of room to hem it off depending on your height. My measurements are 36" bust/ 31" waist/ 36" hips and the dress is a size 10. The only alterations I had made to the dress during the fittings were
1. Had padding put into the top so or stick on's had to be worn.
2. Custom buttons put in tule of the dress to bustle.
That is it! Otherwise it fit like a dream!
