This dress made me feel like the most beautiful queen on my special day. The details, sparkles and shape are breathtaking and recieved many ohhh and ahhhs throughout the wedding planning process and actual wedding day itself. My wish is that another special bride will feel as beautiful and loved wearing it as I did.
As for the fit and comfortablity, the bust and waist hug the body, but the hip portion opens up so it is easy to sit, stand and dance in. The dress has three cloth buttons at the neck, but it zips up the back for easy in and out. The bustle is simple with three hooks that can be arranged in minutes. The dress is fully beaded so there is some weight to it (there is a small shoulder strap under the beaded overlay to help support), which I found helpful in keeping the dress in place and soothing any wedding day jitters!
This dress was worn once and has been stored in a secure location without exposure to sunlight or dust/dirt. The condition of the dress is like new with no discoloration, stains or rips/tears.
In full disclosure, the dress does have some black marks on the inside portion of the bottom of the dress just from walking barefoot on the dance floor:) These marks are not visible on the outside of the dress and would not be noticed when wearing it. I am happy to send a picture of these marks, if you would like. There are also a few beads that have come loose. There is so much detailing it is not noticable, so you could either just cut the string or sew on a few pearls/sequins. I also had the front closed in a few inches so that I didn't show any cleavage, but you can open this up if you prefer the plunging next line.
I am confident you will love this beautiful dress and feel like the stunning bride you are! Please let me know if you have any questions!
