Beautiful couture dress with two different types of lace. The corset top is covered with alencon lace while the bottom skirt is a leaf design lace. Both are authentic lace imported from France. The lining of the dress is 100% silk. The buttons down the back are working buttons (not like many dresses that have them just for show). The dress was designed as strapless but I had Robert Birnbaum add straps which are removable. I wore the straps for the ceremony and then took them off for the reception. I bought the dress at a sample sale for $3000 but Robert told me it normally would have been $4500. This dress was designed to be part of a collection but because the collection had too many lace dresses already, the dress was never mass produced. It really is a one of a kind. The dress has been professionally cleaned and is in amazing condition. The bustle string did pop so this would need to be fixed if you are planning to bustle it. This is the only fault of the dress. When not bustled, the dress has a small train.

On my wedding day, I was 125 pounds and I am 5'3" though I wore very high wedge shoes (4" heels). I normally wear a size 6.
