Lace modified mermaid couture dress with illusion bateau neckline and lace trimmed cap sleeves, sweetheart lace bodice with scalloped peplum features a ruched taffeta waistband, illusion keyhole back, scalloped hem with sweep train, suitable as an evening gown or for the guest of the wedding. Matching shawl included.
Purchased for curvy street-sized 12, this 14 was more comfortable in the hips. Color was not right for the wedding and gown shop had 'no return/exchange' policy, so dress has not been worn.
The coffee color is beautiful and catches different hues depending on the light, primarily taupe, gentle mauve, and sometimes, sage. For a woman of 5'8", the dress required tall heels to be worn in order to prevent walking on the front hem. The back of dress has a tiny train and is really lovely.
Skirt has 4 layers - first the top lace layer, next the taffeta/satin, next tulle, and finally the inner layer. Comes with very lightweight beautiful wrap/shawl (shown in pics).
