This dress is amazing in every way. It is so flattering and makes your waist so small! I received so many compliments. The layering of the lace is unlike any other dress. It is stunning. The beadwork is beautifully done as well. So classy and elegant. I tried on over 60 dresses and this was the one all along. I was not planning to pay over $9,500 for a wedding dress (with tax and alterations- I had it shortened slightly. All Berta dresses are made super long) I am 5”7’ and had 3 inch shoes.
