About the Dress

I loved wearing this dress at my wedding. The embroidery is stunning and I think the color is really unique. The dress is listed as an ivory-blush color, but I think the underlayer looks more like a milk coffee/tan color than a blush. Length was perfect for me with 2 inch heels, but I could have also gotten away with 3 inch heels (I'm 5'6''). There is a train, but it is relatively short (somewhere between a 'court' and 'sweep' length). After dry cleaning, it is nearly perfect. I will say, there is one small (~1 in.) tear at one of the hooks for the bustle in the outermost, embroidered layer. This should be easily repairable and I currently have it secured with 2 safety pins.

Alterations

dress was altered to shorten torso (taken up from middle, not from bottom), illusion straps were taken in at top of shoulder, and bust was slightly taken in (this looks like it could be easily undone if buyer has slightly larger chest). There was some stretching in the toulle in the back that was fixed by being tucked in, which I don't think is noticeable. A bustle was also added -- It is 3 hooks, sitting lower on the dress (back of knee-ish)
