STRAPLESS SWEETHEART FIT-AND-FLARE WEDDING DRESS WITH GRAPHIC LACE

This dress is so beautiful and form-fitting, and the lace adds a nice romantic touch to it. The dress is a nice "java" color so it has a nice warmer feel that really helps to accentuate the lace.

The dress size was purchased at a size 20 but then slight alterations were made to fit me, a size 12/14 street size. The only major alterations were taking in the waist, adjusting the hemline - I am a 5'3 woman and wore 4-inch heels on the wedding day (perfect height there), adding 5 pearl bustle buttons, and adding straps to the dress (from the lace of the dress). The straps could be easily removed

Original description from the website: All about that graphic lace, this strapless wedding gown is a sheer masterpiece. Side cutouts and a sheer bodice set the stage for negative space detailing throughout the gown, which flows throughout the silhouette for modern dimension. Linear detailing along the strapless bodice and skinny plunge neckline highlight your shape in this fit-and-flare wedding dress, while the laces are thoughtfully cut along the waist to accentuate the curves. The full, scallop lace hemline is created with horsehair to help create a true floating look—complemented by the traditional train styling with a finished edge.
