Strapless ballgown with ribbon embroidered bodice and silk organza floating flange skirt accented by lace applique detail at hem. Purchased May 2017, worn to my wedding October 2017. Gown is in great condition; I altered it to remove the long train and the ludicrous layers of crionoline (which also made it incredibly hot). In the original version, when the train gets bustled, it is incredibly poofy in the rear -- like ridiculously poofy. I decided against the costly bustle and to just cop it off to a natural train. I also removed layers of poof -- it is stil a very large ballgown even without all the cironline underneath. I made it more airy!
The bodice was not altered as it fit me like a glove. My measurements are below so you can make sure this is the perfect fit for you as well:
Waist Circumference - 31"
High Hips Circumference - 35"
Low Hip Circumference - 39"
Bust Circumference - 37.5"
Under Bust Circumference - 32.5
I am 5'6" and wore flat Keds with the dress. It was a bit too long in the front, so it should be long enough if you are 5'7" or shorter (you can always get it hemmed shorter).
I had a ball wearing this -- I felt beautiful and elegant and like a true bride. I took it off about one hour into our reception and changed into something more manageable in a confined space.
The dress does need to be steamed and then it is ready to go. I am happy to answer any questions.
It really is a dream. Priced to sell -- perfect for a bride with soul who loves to twirl!
