Essense of Australia Wedding Dress with Bustle (Style D2347) US10 (Actual fit 0-2- size). Condition is Pre-owned.

About the Dress: Soft and feminine lace A-line gown. Completely unique and romantic, the organic V-neckline of this wedding dress is highlighted with slight cap sleeves, adding a touch of coverage. The bodice of this gown features layered lace, giving it a stunning botanical feeling. This, mixed with the laser-cut organza, gives rich dimension to this style. The botanical lace continues down through the tulle and Regency organza skirt, giving the look of bold florals which adds texture to the gown. The back of this wedding dress is surrounded by organic lace detailing. Fabric-covered buttons run down the middle of the dress, adding a touch of sophistication. The back of this lace wedding dress zips up beneath fabric-covered buttons.

Sizing: The tag on the dress says that the size is 10US. But it is misleading. I had to order a larger size because my chest is larger, and then the seamstress altered the waist. I wear a 0-2 in Loft sizing. The waist is about 27/28 in. and chest size is about 32C/D.

Length from waist to bottom front of dress: approx. 45.5 in

Length from waist to bottom back of dress ( including train): approx. 71.5 in

Extra Fabric: This dress comes with extra fabric. I ordered lace and extra appliques, so that the sleeves, neckline and back could be modified for modesty. The back of the dress has been covered with lace and appliques, and the cap sleeves have been made a little longer. The chest area has some extra appliques added to it and Keyhole back has had lace appliques added on for modesty. All the extra lace and appliques can be removed, to have the dress go back to the origional design. Extra dress fabric and appliques will be included with the dress.
