I bought this dress 4 months ago and it arrived to the store a couple of weeks ago. It's completely new, never worn, not altered. Never been out of the protective bag after arriving at the bridal shop. I felt truly beautiful in this dress but for several reasons I'm now looking to find a new home for it. It really accentuates your waist and my waist looked tiny in it! The tulle is light and the straps are beaded so you get a lovely hint of sparkle. It's a really fun, beautiful dress! Website description: Fall head over heels in love with this fun and flirty ball gown that's perfect for dancing the night away! Featuring a plunging V-neckline with sheer tulle inset and a narrow fabric belt to highlight the waist, the Luxe Mikado bodice sits atop a frothy layered tulle skirt finished with horsehair for soft structure. Hand-beaded spaghetti straps offer subtle sparkle, leading to an open V-back that zips up beneath fabric covered buttons.
