Gorgeous, intricately detailed lace with very subtle sparkling elements. The fabric is impossibly soft, weightless lace with beautiful drape and flow. Lace edging creates a soft scalloped look. The train is long enough to make a statement, without being cumbersome, and has stunning detail. Ties were added for bustling and the dress was hemmed, and only minor alterations were needed. I'm 5'5" and wore 2" heels. Professionally cleaned and packed, well-sealed for preservation, guaranteed for up to 100 years! I was absolutely in love with this gown. It breaks my heart that I only got to wear it once!
