About the Dress

A floaty, tulle gown with the bodice adorned with embroidery resembling acacia leaves. There are little silvery embroidered buds too.
The hand-sewn appliqués are also featured on the skirt around the waist and hips.
The dress is incredibly soft on the skin (as I have sensitivities). It is light and easy to wear.
The dress was a little big in the waist for me but it draped so beautifully it wasn't noticeable.
The designer added an extra layer of nude fabric in the front bodice to prevent it being see-thru.
I got married at my parents lavender farm and was worried the barn floor would ruin the train, but amazingly there are only a couple of little pulls in the under layer. You can't see them at all. I've included a photo of the hem.

Alterations

The front hem was shortened. I am 5' 10" and wore flat shoes. In bare feet I am 60.75" from the top of the shoulder to the floor. The train was not shortened. I also had two clear buttons added at the back waist so the train could bustle up. There is a built in under-bustle system but I liked the look of an over-bustle better. None of it is visible when you the train is down.
