"MODERN BALLGOWN WEDDING DRESS WITH SQUARE NECKLINE
For the bold romantic with a vintage flair, Style D3386 is the effortlessly chic gown of your dreams. The bodice is covered with rich lace patterns and glittering sequin details, with sheer elements showing off the intricate details and exposed boning. The straight-across neckline is decorated with organic edges of the floral lace, with wide-set beaded straps adding a vintage flair to this sweet gown. The square neckline is equal parts timeless and modern, and the back scoops down slightly for a bold open look. For a classic bridal finish, layers of tulle create a voluminous, airy skirt, complete with floral motifs incorporated all the way to the hem."

I absolutely loved wearing this dress and it fit perfectly to our romantic wedding location on Lake Como, Italy. The dress fit me perfectly and needed no alterations. I had a seamstress add a small hook and loop to create a bustle, so I could shorten the back of the dress for later in the day. You can see this in the photograph where we are dancing.

After dry cleaning the dress has come out as good as new! There are a couple of snags in the layers at the bottom which is to be expected. These will go unnoticed when the dress is being worn.

Dress comes with original hanger and dust bag. Bought new in Zug Switzerland in 2022 at the shop "True Society". Worn once! As mentioned, other than adding a hook & loop to create a bustle, this dress is unaltered and therefore the exact size you would get when buying new.
