I purchased this dress at a boutique for $3500.00. This is an absolutely stunning wedding gown. It is an Ivory halter with striking hand-beaded detail on the bodice (as shown in pictures). Halter, very slim through the bodice and floats away from the hips in A-line form. Has covered buttons and loops over the zipper down the center back of dress and complete bustle. (I am 5'4" and a size 0-2).
You can have the dress altered to fit your measurements as I did. I wore this on my wedding day for a total of 6 hours. The ceremony was held at the John and Mable Ringling Museum in Sarasota Florida. I did not get a chance to eat at the reception, so food and drink was nowhere near the dress.
