This wedding dress is a fit and flare style dress with three layers of lace. The dress has latches for a bustle in the back and comes with a long sleeve removable bolero jacket with matching lace. I wore the lace sleeves during the ceremony and took the sleeves off during the reception to reveal a sweetheart neckline bodice. The dress is meant to fit well across the hips, and has an additional internal strap around the waist to help keep the dress up.
