The Dress

If you want a romantic dress with a lace and tulle fit and flare fit that gives you both sexy and elegant, this authentic Essence of Australia in Style D3249 is your dress! While the laces featured throughout this flowy, ethereal style take on more traditional heirloom shapes and patterns, the unique layering and placement over the sheer bodice and glitter tulle underlayer offer a really striking, soft yet modern effect. The plunging neckline and thinly beaded straps in the back includes a delicate strap detail. A beautiful, lengthy, scalloped sheer train with antique-style lace and buttons down the center give this dress a classic and romantic effect. This was a brand new style from their 2021 collection.

Alterations

The dress was altered by a wedding dress expert and includes a bustle (pictured) and built in cups that can be removed. My bust is a 34 C with the cups, I was a D.
The color is Ivory Lace and Tulle over Rum. Looks almost like a very light pink.

At the time the alterations were made, I weighed 132 pounds and am 5'2". I wore 3.5 inch heels with my dress. I wore a petticoat skirt underneath just for photos. It doesn't need one at all as the dress has many layers. For the photos it gave the dress an even more defined look. I paid $757 dollars to alter the dress because it was ordered with the lace unattached so that it could be hemmed easier. The seamstress did an AMAZING job.
