The lace in the back is cut to a V, so you feel young and fresh. It fits with structure in the bodice, and falls at a natural waist. The dress is not heavy; it is soft and ethereal and will look beautiful on a bride! It will also feel comfortable all day because it is not rigid and it's nice and light. It has never been worn, and it has not yet been altered. It is in its original packaging and ready for its moment. NEVER WORN! CUSTOM and brand new! That means there are NO flaws and NO blemishes! This dress is truly one of a kind! It has the delicate lace of the Vienna top, and the simple, flowing skirt of the Harrison dress. It's a cool combination of old and new--classic and modern. The lace is my absolute favorite detail of the dress. It's a boat neck, but the lace is so delicate it feels a lot more elegant than a normal fancy dress. It's very classic, but the bustier beneath is also fitted so you get to show of your figure and feel sexy but still timeless and elegant.
