This is a stunning french alencon lace gown. I bought this dress from the sample rack at the first bridal store I went to. While I absolutely love it, I decided to go with something a bit more traditional/conservative.
The dress comes with a thin, ribbon belt in the same color (show in pictures). It can be worn wherever you would like. Some of the pictures show it at the empire level, but I preferred it at the natural waist.
I am size 2 in regular clothes and would have needed the dress to be taken in a bit. The dress is labeled as a 40, which is equivalent to a US size 10 (though wedding dress sizes are typically much higher than your regular size). It really floats over curves nicely making it very flattering. The dress has a slight sheen to it that will look amazing in candlelight and will glow in the sun.
