About the Dress

Bodice is fully beaded with additional Swarovski crystals and a dropped waist. The skirt is made of tulle and organza. The beaded-edge veil is also included. Both have been professionally cleaned and preserved; will be shipped in preservation box. This dress will make you feel like an absolute princess. Since the skirt is organza, it is very lightweight and moves well with you. It was the lightest ball gown I’d tried. After the dress was steamed before the wedding, it ended up being too long for me with 3.5” heels (I had to kick out quite a bit while walking). So even though I’m on the shorter side, this dress will still fit a wide range of heights, depending on height of heels.

Imperfections:
Slight staining on the very ends of the gown were present prior to preservation (since it ended up being slightly too long).
Interior fabric also had slight staining from a spray tan, which you cannot see when the gown is on.
The tacking on one strap came off and was sewn back on but should be completely fixed by a professional seamstress.

Alterations

The straps were added to the original dress and perfectly match, but they can also easily be removed to make it strapless again. The corset back was also an alteration (original dress had a zipper back and covered buttons), which makes the gown very comfortable to wear and I didn’t have to stress about a pound or two before the event.
