The Dress

I received so many compliments on this classic, elegant gown! It is simple, sophisticated and seriously chic. The dress featuring a cowl neckline, spaghetti straps, sheer illusion tulle and intricate boning on the bodice, sides and back of the gown. The dress is made of several layers of fabric which helps make the column silhouette flattering for anyone- it is not see-through at all! The built-in cups were bigger than I needed (typical bra size is 34A) but they held their shape well so would easier work for both smaller and larger bra sizes. I loved the delicate buttons down the back of the gown, and the best part was that they covered a zipper so getting the dress on and off was a breeze! The simple train easily bustles with just 3 buttons and loops and stayed perfect for a night of dancing. Dress has minor signs of wear on the very bottom of the train but is otherwise in excellent condition! It has been professionally cleaned.

Alterations

A few inches of fabric were trimmed off the bottom. I am 5'8 and wore 2-3inch heels. 3 buttons were added to the back of the dress for the bustle (see pictures). The spaghetti straps were slightly shortened. No alterations were made to the frame or body of the dress.
