The Dress

This beautiful dress has a fit-and-flare shape with a sweetheart neckline. The dress is vintage-inspired, with a fitted bodice with hand-sewn beads over lace. The flare begins at the knee and features a tulle material, with a built in bustle. The back has a zipper closure under crystal buttons, which is very easy to zip up (buttons are for show). I only wore this dress once on my wedding day, and the dress is in fantastic shape, and looks brand new. It's been professionally cleaned, and there are no stains on it. I had the seamstress attach the spaghetti straps, but if you don't like them, they can easily cut off. The fit of the dress is very flattering, and because there is built in boning the dress kind of acts like a bodice and does not require a bra.

I had the dress altered to take out the bust because I'm a 34D. I also had them take the waist out about 1/2 inch. Finally, I had the dress shortened to fit with flats and I'm 5'3. The dress could easily be taken back in, if needed, but it cannot be taken out anymore. There is a bustle sewn in as well.
