This is a very chic sheathe wedding dress with illusion lace back and sides as shown in ivory. Covered buttons down the back to the waist then a hidden zip. Plunge neckline with illusion nude mesh inset keeps the plunge in order. No need for a bra as it has built in cups. I found it true to size but very form fitting and very flattering. The fabric has some stretch to hug your curves. I am 5'6 and 140#. The dress was never altered. It was bought in the Spring 2020 and worn once in June for a few hours. It was dry cleaned right away and safely stored since. I removed the manufacturers tags that were sewn onto the lining on the right back hip because they did somewhat show through.
I wore it for a very private and very small DIY wedding on a sail boat. The photos were taken by friends and not professionally done but gives an idea of the fit and style. See the manufacturer's photos on the Sottero and Midgley site for a better image. The lace on this dress is exquisite. And a benefit of the lace sides is that the dress was cooler to wear....ventilated! A benefit for outdoor summer weddings! There are scattered clear sequins giving a hint of sparkle. I'd have to say this is a lot of dress for the money. I loved wearing it for our unconventional wedding and am sad to part with it but the reality is that I won't wear it again and it will give another bride great joy.
I've stated "no returns" in the listing but will work a prospective buyer. I also have a bridal comb that I never used if my buyer is interested.
