European design, purchased at the actual Crystal Design showroom in Ukraine where these beautiful gowns are made.
This dress has pockets, making it not only practical, but fun to wear! The delicate high-neck lace design makes you feel pretty and dainty while keeping your dress in place, all day long. No need for constant adjustments or worrying that you can’t bend over modestly.
I wear either a size 0-2 or XS and this dress fit perfectly. If you have thin arms, this dress still doesn’t gap open at the arm holes like many other dresses will. I am 5'6" and wore a 2 inch heel shoe.
The bustle can be done 2 different ways, so you pick your style! There are two pearl beaded loops on the train to bustle it on the outside or three color-coordinated buttons and loops to easily and quickly bustle it from underneath.
A little on the dress condition - It was sent to Miami to be dry cleaned by a cleaner who specializes in wedding dresses. It came back looking practically brand new. There is, however, a tiny little dot (the size of the head of a sewing pin) of foundation makeup stain on the skirt that didn’t come out. It’s hardly noticeable because it’s at thigh height and light in color, but just want to include every detail about the condition. Other than that, it looks like it did in the shop. There are amazingly NO tears on the long train and NO makeup stains at the neckline like some used dresses tend to have.
I’m happy to answer any questions you may have and/or send additional photos.
Thanks!
