Tulle mermaid dress with a strapless sweetheart neckline with all over lace EMBROIDERY and ivory underlay. Original size of 16 which was altered in the bust, hips, and length to fit me. The bust and hips can be let out to original size according to the seamstress. The dress has an American bustle. The PETTICOAT did come un sewn from the bustle and will need to be re sewn.
