This dress was ordered bigger so it could be fitted to whatever size I wanted at the time! I wound up choosing another dress, so this dress was never tried on! It has been in the bag since coming into the store I purchased it from. It is a beautiful Mermaid style dress. It has a sweetheart neckline and is strapless. If you are looking for an hourglass figure on your day, this is your dress! I also ordered extra beading for the dress that matches the front neckline of the dress. this dress is absolutely beautiful on, and will make you look breathtaking on your special day!
