The Dress

Fitted, mermaid style lace and tulle gown. Skinny lace straps lead to illusion back that has lace appliques throughout. Lace appliques continue throughout rest of bodice, and sporadically throughout the mermaid skirt and train. Bodice has padding sewn in for support. Buttons secure illusion in back of gown. Long, soft, tulle train with lace appliques add a beautiful elegance to this beautiful gown.

From Rosa Clara's Website: Mermaid-style matte cotton guipure lace dress with sweetheart neckline, color natural.

Very flattering fit, sexy and elegant at the same time.

The gown is in very good condition. Lace detail along the train looks a little worn but is not noticeable. The inside layer of lining lost the edging (about 8 inches) in two parts--not at all visible with the dress on and easily re-edged if you want to. Some specks in the right inner lining of bodice by the armpit; easily removed with a Tide pen, I think, but I don't want to experiment on your gown! 😊

Overall a beautiful and unforgettable wedding dress! So many compliments.

Alterations

Dress was altered to fit bust and waist, dropping the size in those areas from a 4 to what feels more like a size 2. Hemline also shortened to take a four-inch heel on a 5'5"person. 😊
