This exquisite gown has all the elements to create a jaw-dropping entrance at your magical event: a fitted bodice adorned with lines of tiny precious pearls, simple yet elegant embroidered trim that creates a lovely hourglass appearance, shimmering delicate scattered Swarovski crystals; and a skirt made from yards and yards and yards of silk taffeta, creating that princessly "swishing" sound as you move about your guests and your day.
And to make moving about easier when it's time to kick up your heels (or if you prefer the bustled look), there are silk ribbons attached under the skirt to bustle the back and REALLY make you look like royalty.
This is a ballgown so it has a lovely billowy skirt, that curves out from the waist. This also means there is more material used in the length.
Measurements: (Wearer was 5'3" and wore 5" wedges and still should have had a few more inches taken off.)
Bodice - at top of bodice: 38.5" around; at waist trim: 38" around; front top to waist trim: 14-1/2", sides: 10"
Skirt - front center waist to edge of hem 42", back center waist to edge if hem: 69" (plenty of length left to have bottom 4" taken off and still wear heels).
Images of marks from overjoyous guests are noted in images - the estimated cost of alterations to remove the bottom 2" has been deducted from the price of the dress.
