6´´ from bust to neckline
7´´ sleeves (from bust to shoulder)
18´´ from armpit-to-armpit
16´´ waist (from side-to-side)
20´´ hips (from side-to-side)
51´´ length (both in the front and the back) While the dress is slightly longer in the back, the length is the same in the front/back because the back of the dress starts lower down on the back, and the front of the dress starts higher at the bust
Bride´s measurements:
42 ½´´ bust
36´´ waist
44 ½´´ hips
Bride is 5´3´´ and 180lbs and normally wear a medium/large in tops and 10/12 in pants.
Upper part of the dress is a corset style – no bra necessary – and has fabulous structure, with ruching in a criss-cross/pleated pattern for an amazing slimming look.
Lower part of dress is mermaid/fishtail that hugs the hips and falls away at the knee to a gown-length. Back of the dress has a full zipper plus buttons to below the hips. The ruching/pleated look is present in the back as well and softly flows out after the waist.
This original dress had a short train, which was cut to a gown-length. This means it does lay on the floor in the back a slight bit, but does not have a train in the traditional sense.
