Beautiful V-Neck Textured Lace Fit and Flare Wedding Dress with Spaghetti Straps

The Dress: We had an outdoor, mountain, cowboy wedding and this dress fit perfectly! I loved the romantic neckline and the lace piece that goes over the cleavage area. I am a D cup and seemed to fill the bust area. The detail in the lace throughout the whole dress and the unevenness of the hem on the bottom was rustic and country. There is just the right amount of weight in the dress so that when I walked, it flowed. I was probably 175 pounds at the time of the wedding and 5'6" and have wider hips and a shorter torso.

Flaws: During the end of a full night of dancing and mountain portraits, the loop that holds the train up, got stretched out and would not stay on the button. The interior straps that come inside of the dress (to help hang it while not wearing it) kept creeping up into the lacy part on my sides.

Alterations: When I purchased the dress, my body was 'fuller' due to my woman cycle. I realized this when I tried the dress on a month before the wedding and it was loose on me. I had the dress altered by the Wedding Seamstress and they took in the sides near the hips/lower waist area about 1-2 inches. I also had them take up the straps (probably 1-2 inches as well) to help lift the bust area. They also attached the train button to adjust the length of the dress to my height.
