I wore this dress for my wedding day and it was a beautiful, flowing dress allowing for a great range of movement during our energetic day. The alterations include hooks for a bustle on the underside to pull the train under the dress, foam cup inserts so a bra is not needed, and the overall length was shortened for my height of 5' 4" with a 1" heel. It was originally a size 10 dress and it was fitted to my size of 8.
