This dress was never worn outside of fittings. It has never been hemmed. It is a size 6, and it was taken in very slightly at the waist and lace sleeves were added which could easily be removed to restore the strapless dress. It is already bustled. The dress is champagne with gorgeous ivory lace and some small amount of beading. Comes with petticoats to fill out the A-line skirt, as well as the dress bag it came in. The bodice is fitted, and then the skirt flares out at the hips. I will throw in the shoes, size 9.5 and dyed ivory to match, for if you are interested.
