The Dress

I loved my gown! I am a street size 6 and it fit perfectly. I am including the detachable bow. It was worn only for a couple of hours and was very comfortable. I added a separate crinoline underskirt to add volume to the skirt. It was dry cleaned post wedding. I had minor alterations which are listed in detail below.

CLASSIC TRUMPET WEDDING DRESS WITH DOUBLE STRAPS AND DETACHABLE BOW
Dramatic elegance comes alive in Style D3404. With head-to-toe matte mikado fabric, this gown uses clean lines and bold accents to deliver a fresh take on a classic silhouette. The scooped neckline is effortlessly stylish and supportive, with boning along the bodice providing sexy structure all day long. The simple double strap adds a delicate touch, meeting at the back of the gown in a delicate V shape. All down the skirt, contour seaming beautifully highlights the body’s natural curves, flaring out below the waist to complete the timeless fit-and-flare silhouette. For a truly show-stopping finish, the detachable bow adds an ultra-modern wow-factor, accentuating the already incredible train and giving the gown a high-fashion flair.

Alterations

I added bra cups and a crystal accented belt (which can be removed) around the entire bodice of the dress. I also removed the snaps for the detachable bow but new snaps can be easily added. I took in the bust and hips just a tad for a more fitted look. I DID NOT add a bustle.
