This A-line gown was purchased at a bridal salon in Greenwich CT. My mother picked it out and I fell in love. It’s beautiful because there are two layers, the top tulle overlay can be removed and you’ll have a whole new look. I took off the overlay after our first dance because it was so much fabric. I was left with a sleeker looking, easy to move in lace dress.
I am 5'6. The dress was slightly shortened in the front. It was also taken in around the waistline, but the fabric wasn't cut. It was let back out when I had it cleaned. I also added a bustle (about 6 invisible loops) to the back for the tulle train - which was perfect for my first dance. I also had a girdle sewn into the dress, but it was removed for preservation with no damage to the dress.
This dress can be taken in a lot.
