She was easy to wear! One of the things I loved (and there were many!) was I never had to readjust the dress because it was falling or inching down; it fit like a glove. Kept everything in place perfectly ;-) The floral straps can be worn up on the shoulders or down like in the pictures.

What makes this dress unique? All sorts of things...not only the style itself that I've never seen but the revealing side panels, the beige inset in the train, the tiny pearls and beige trim above the bust, the way it moves, it's just so striking! It's a fitted, semi-sheer mermaid gown with light 3D embroidered flowers over silk tulle combines with elegant off-the-shoulder straps, a low illusion back, and sheer inserts on the sides that flow into a dramatic caviar tulle train.

I can't tell you how many of our guests told me it was the most beautiful gown they had ever seen. I felt absolutely at home and fabulous in it at the same time.

The veil is two layers, one shorter to bring over the face if you like, and one really long as you can see in the pictures. It has tiny faux pearls scattered on the long layer and looks like someone just tossed a handful of them on the veil. It was gorgeous! I wore it all day/night because the seamstress showed me how to lift it up to shorten it...kind of like bustling the train.

The dress is as perfect as it was when I picked it up. Stillwhite only has a dry cleaned button but you're not supposed to dry clean this dress because of the silk, lace and details. I had it professionally washed at http://www.evermoreweddinggowncare.com/preservation that was recommended to me by Annika Bridal (where I purchased the dress). The cleaning was $800 but I am not including that in the value or price.

Any questions, please ask!

Alterations

Added buttons and loops so that the dress could be bustled
Picture above as to how that looks
Added removable padding in the bust
I'm a 32D and we added two layers of padding so there's room to take a few size out if needed
We did need to take out the label because it showed through the dress panel
I can provide a picture of the label if you'd like
