This is a beautiful dress. The beading is so eye catching and it glistens in any light. The hoop skirt and layers upon layers of tulle make this dress so fun. The dress looks great bussled. Size C bra cups have been added so no bra is needed. A halter top was added and a great idea by my tailor for when I wanted to dance the night away. There is a little bit of fabric wear at the bottom of the hoop skirt. It is in no way visible and I will include the extra fabric from the altercations if you would like to correct this. Also, this dress has been altered. At the time that I wore it I was 5'3 and 150 pounds. I am a pear shape. The dress was taken in on the sides and about 2 inches were removed from the bottom. I also added a bussle so the dress could gather in the back. Some of the beadwork is a little loose, but there is nothing actually wrong with it, it just needs to be handled lightly or be restrung. From Allure Bridal's Website: "A romantic ball gown in soft satin. The strapless bodice features a sweetheart neckline, delicate appliques and is encrusted with Swarovski crystals." This dress really was my dream dress and it is time that someone else enjoy it and that it gets out of the closet!!
