This was the most beautiful dress that I encountered during my search. I was looking for something that would be feminine, elegant, modest with a touch of sexy. I didn't know if I would find all those elements in one dress until I tried this one on! It has two layers so you can wear it with just the satin layer if you would like. I chose not to take off the lace layer because it was just too beautiful. The dress is absolutely breathtaking and the train is gorgeous as well. The back forms a low V that is beautiful too.
The dress comes with a matching ivory belt that snaps on (I put a pin on it to cover the snap area). The belt can be worn inside or outside (or not at all). The layer of satin comes with straps that you can snap on or choose to wear strapless. The dress has a nicely fitted structure inside that makes sure it stays on tight throughout dancing. The outer layer has buttons down the back to mid-way to one's tush. The dress would fit best on petite women who typically wear sizes 2-4 in street clothing. The dress itself was ordered in petite sizing so it is very well fitted for shorter ladies :)
This dress made me feel absolutely radiant and I hope that someone else gets to enjoy it too!
The dress was shortened to my height (I wore flats) 5'3" The lace was taken up in the front only (so the train looks even longer!) and it looks like nothing was changed - my seamstress was amazing. B-cup sized cups were put in but can be easily removed.
The bustle is a gorgeous 10 point bustle (underlayer is 3 ties and the outer lace layer is the 10 point). You can see these by matching up the different lightly color beads with the elastic loops.
The belt snaps were adjusted to be a little tighter but those can be undone and adjusted to where you want the belt to sit on your waist. Alterations were $500 alone.
