Romantic Sleeveless Mermaid Wedding Dress with Illusion Neckline

The dress is a mermaid style with a silk upper portion and tulle bottom that flows to a small train. The front of the dress is very elegant and simple, which I loved since I faced the altar for the majority of the ceremony. That being said, I wanted the back to be more detailed and "showy", which it delivers. You were still able to see the design on the back with a long veil. It has a mesh back that goes to the lower back and has a beautiful design throughout. It is fitted from the top to mid-thigh and shows off the curves of the wearer.

It has a zipper instead of buttons, so it is very easy to get on and off. There is a built-in bra, which held up great - I did not wear any other bra on the day of the wedding (size 34B) and felt very covered the whole time. 

Condition: There are a few blemishes. Most of the blemishes are not able to be seen unless someone is standing right next to you. The bottom of the dress does show dirt from wearing it during the day but is by no means black. There is some discoloration near the armpits and a line on the side near the left hip. 

Alterations: The only alterations done to the dress were that the sides were taken in slightly and the bottom was hemmed by 1 inch. (I am 5'6" and wore 3.3" heels). Bustling "pins" were added to the back.
