The Dress

This is the beautiful "Dango" wedding dress by Pronovias of Spain. The dress was worn *by me only* in June 2013. It was specialty dry-cleaned immediately after being worn, kept in it's original garment bag and is in like-new condition! *No discoloration* and *no damage* to the fabric or lace! The dress was a US size 4 but was taken in to fit to 32-34” bust, 27" waist. The length from top of bodice to front hem is 53".

The dress is A-Line and strapless with light and flowing overlapping tiers of sheer fabric.

Front of the dress / bust: across the top of the bust are overlapping horizontal pleats of sheer fabric, which add to the delicate look of this dress. There are fabric hooks sewn into the interior of the bust incase you want to add up to 2 straps.

Bodice: covered with stunning Pronovias designer lace that tapers down as you descend the dress. It has light boning to help keep the dress in place and a substantial 3" elastic band with hooks-and-eyes across the back (interior) of the bodice to keep the top of the dress in place, almost like a corset.

Back of the dress / hem: this dress has a stunning train! There are 24 buttons down the back with an elastic loop for each one. There is a zipper underneath the buttons also to keep the dress securely closed. Two loops were added to the train and 3 of the buttons were reinforced in order to bustle up the train for the reception (3 buttons gives flexibility on height of the bustle). A narrow lace frill at the hem gives the finishing touch to the wide skirt that adds volume to the whole dress.

Additional info: there is a built-in net petticoat to add fullness the skirt of the dress. There is a lining under the petticoat so the net does not irritate the bride's legs. Upon original purchase, this dress did not come with a belt.
