Technically listed as a ball gown but does not feel heavy or poofy at all. Rather, you feel like you're draped with beautiful, exquisite fabric. Full ivory, silk organza skirt with a blush lining makes for the most beautiful photos. Because of the layers of organza, you will never think "blush" when you see the dress on. The only time you'd know there was a blush lining is if you picked up the organza. Otherwise, the contrasting lining gives a beautiful ethereal color pallette.
The texture captured in photos was to die for. The intricate beading on the bodice is unique, giving an abstracted feathery feel.
I felt beautiful and feminine. I have a large bust but I did not feel like I was "on display" all night. Everyone from my husband to my grandmother loved my dress.
Being tall, I ordered this dress with extra length, and then tailored it to my height. I wore flats on my wedding day and I am 5'11.
A few buttons on the back are missing. Otherwise, this dress has been professionally cleaned and preserved. I have not taken it out of the box, but will upon request for pictures of missing buttons.
