The Dress

BACKGROUND:
I bought this dress brand new from a shop in Denver, CO. I made just a few, very minor alterations to the dress which are listed below.

Embrace your inner goddess. Gaia’s cotton and rayon openwork lace uses delicate embroidered flowers and organic lines for softness and romance. Gaia swirls gracefully around the body: from a subtle cutaway neckline, to a sweeping open back, sensuous curves and a lush lace train. A soft, front-split sleeve sparks magic and movement.

Alterations

ALTERATIONS:
Hemmed: After hemming, the dress measures 64" in the front. The train was not hemmed at all. I am 5'9" and wore 3.5" heels.

Added Bustle: 3 clear buttons & matching off-white loops hold the train. When bustled, the dress is 64" all the way around.

Dancing Loop: (*Not an alteration) The gown comes with a built-in "dancing loop," located on the inside of the base of the train.
