The most gorgeous dress because it stands out from the dress, yet is still timeless. Everyone told me how beautiful my dress is.
I did make alterations: i changed off shoulder straps into regular straps, however its an easy fix back to off shoulder straps.
The dress comes with a French/under bustle which I kept, however I would highly recommended paying to get an American/over bustle for comfort.
Given that I kept the under bustle, and it didn't stay put throughout the night, I ended up pinning my dress which caused the dress to rip. However, the dress is still worth it. Remember, the attached tail will cover the rip. If you get an over bustle, the rip will be hidden.
It's a gorgeous dress. I'll also throw in the long ivory veil I wore.
the exact measurements are: chest - 36, waist - 27, hips 37.5.
