Fabric: Gossamer Chiffon with Handmade Flowers and Beaded Embellishments featuring Swarovski Crystals (Zipper/Inner Corset, Dress Only)

I had the seamstress put on a french bustle for the train, I also had it taken up slightly but I am quite tall (174cm with no heels on) & my wedding shoes that day were 5cm high.

The dress has been dry cleaned & preserved. It has been stored in a dress bag since then so is like brand new.

NOTE: The only thing I want to make very clear to any buyer is that when I picked up my dress from the dry cleaners there was one button missing from the many on the back closure. They said that they didn't damage my dress or lose this button but it definitely had all of them when it was dropped off. It is a very simple common button & an identical one can be purchased from Spotlight so it's not a major issue but it needed to be disclosed.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
