Hips -

This gown was ordered custom from Casablanca's original design to feature a sweetheart neckline. According to the Casablanca website, the dress is covered in "beaded lace appliqués on tulle over silky satin". It made me feel like a princess with its elegant designs on the lace. It has a few faint pulls in the fabric at the waist and bust from hugs that night. Also, the waist has a couple of seams that have come undone, but it can be easily resewn if it bothers the owner.

I wish I could add more pictures to show how it sparkles since these pictures don't do it justice. Here is another quote from the Casablanca website: "This soft and sophisticated gown features sparkling Swarovski Crystals and sequins at the neckline. The waist is embellished with a pleated sash, while delicate embroidery makes the skirt sparkle."

Alterations

It was ordered in a larger size to create a longer train
Additionally, I wore a tulle skirt underneath to achieve a fuller look, this will be included in the order
The dress also had removable pads added for a fuller look and to fill the gap created by my smaller bust and the larger size only being able to be taken in so much
The waist has an elastic band that clasps around the waist, a helpful feature keeping you from worrying about it falling all night
Based on my measurements, that band is 22" and can be replaced, the bodice is 27" at its largest, and just after the bodice, it opens up to 31" and onto the skirt
I list it as a size 2 because of the bust
