The Dress

Moonlight J6344 is the original gown, so you can find that dress on their website easily (from their Moonlight Collection) for their photos of it if you’d like. They actually did the long sleeves custom for me (so the material matches the bodice exactly) and they don’t have any boning in them so you can move your arms easily. The only other customization was they added a small piece of that same flower appliqué from the bodice over the very bottom part of the illusion over the cleavage area because I wanted a little less showing (you can tell by looking at it and imagining that the illusion would normally go into a perfect point but instead there’s a flower there where the tip of the point would be). It was absolutely perfect, beautiful lace appliqués and beading, the waist comes in nicely while still having the flowy-ness of the light skirt, and the lovely illusion fabric in the front cleavage and on the back. It also has the buttons a short way up both sleeves to maybe mid-forearm and down the back to the waist beading. It was not too heavy or constricting and I could sit easily. It has what moonlight calls “gold” fabric under the ivory netting on the skirt but you can tell from the photos of me in it that it doesn’t make the skirt look gold by any means, looking at the fabric in person it’s more like a warmer ivory underneath the regular ivory netting on top.

The only alterations done were a very slight hem and adding the optional bustle where you can put a hidden loop over a button (it’s very subtle to even see in photos). So in every other way size wise it’s the exact same as a brand new size 10 from Moonlight.
