Loved this dress the moment I saw it! It's beautiful as is or I have seen other brides who removed the bustling from the top skirt and it looks amazing that way as well! If you like options, this dress is easily customizable.
Strapless, ivory, sculpted ball gown with vintage lace-inspired beading and embroidery on the bodice. Bodice and skirt have subtle ivory tulle overlay, the top skirt is fully bustled, with a chapel length train.
The dress was altered at the Bridal Salon where it was purchased to fit around the bust (admittedly I do have a wider rib cage so it wasn't taken in much) and added a bustle to the train. We replaced the oyster grosgrain belt that originally came with the dress for a thicker, silk, champagne ribbon that falls down the back of the gown. The ribbon was removed from the dress during preservation but could easily be reattached or replaced with any ribbon or belt of your choice.
Full disclosure: There is some slight staining on the dress in a couple of spots that I believe a professional could take care of. There is one small tear in the tulle overlay on the hem that could be fixed in an alteration.
I also have the dress's original garment/dust bag that will come with the dress :).
I look forward to someone else making amazing memories in this gown!
