I was searching for a mermaid style dress with ruching that didn't pull in too much below my hips and this one, although kind of between an A line and a mermaid, was a great fit!  If you're curvy, it will show off your curves without making you feel like you're popping out everywhere and it's spacious enough in the bottom so you don't feel like you're jammed into a dress for the entire day!  

The ruching starts on the left side and stretches across to the right side of the body (front and back of dress) and as the ruching ends, the exposed edges are surged (I think that's the right term?) which gives a romantic feel to the dress.

It looks white in some light and ivory in others, so it's barely ivory (not a strong ivory color like some dresses).  I tried to upload photos from different lighting sources so you could see this for yourself.

The train is pretty short, but there is a train and I bustled it for everything except the ceremony.

I am 100% open to you coming to see it in person! I know there is no way I would have ever purchased a wedding dress without seeing it first! Open to the idea of returns, but need to speak with you first regarding possibility.
