The slim silhouette is created from a soft charmeuse satin and all over Venice lace. The neckline is a sexy, sweetheart shape encrusted with Swarovski crystals.

I really didn't want to feel smashed into a dress on my wedding day and I can say this dress provided the perfect balance between comfort, security, and a flattering form-fitting shape.

The dress comes with very dainty spaghetti straps, but could have been be made strapless if I preferred. I loved that the back dipped a bit without going lower than my corset. It felt sexy but still appropriate to wear in front of my family and friends.

I am 5'5" and wore 3.5" heels. The dress was purchased as a size 12, and unlike most bride's experience, it fit me like a street size 12, which was my size at the time of purchase. I wound up losing 20 lbs before my wedding, so alterations brought it down to what I'm guessing was on the large side of an 8 or the small side of a 10.

The dress is in great shape. It was dry cleaned after the wedding and has been covered and hanging up since then.
