Silk ballgown with embroidered lace, boned bodice. Built in bra band and structured cups. Comes with detachable spaghetti straps.

There are pockets very cleverly hidden in the pleats of the skirt - I had to point them out to the seamstress in order to ensure she didn't sew them shut when bringing in the waist.

Chapel length train with buttons all the way to hem (practical through waist/over zipper, decorative from waist to hem).

Dress has been taken in at waist and will not fit like an off-the-rack size 8 - My measurements at final fitting were 36" bust, 25" waist.

Hemmed to skim floor for height of 5'4" wearing 2" heels.

Very sturdy, 5 point American bustle. I wore the gown bustled the entire day because it was raining - only unbustled for bridal portraits earlier in the day.

Alterations

5-point American bustle added, taken in several inches at waist.
