Dress is a fit and flare with lace and beading. It has an inner corset that you cannot see with a zippered back covered with glass beading. Color is ivory or light champagne color. Belt was added and stitched on but could easily be moved. It was easy to move in and dance. I am 5'10'' and wore 3'' heals. I did not alter the length of the dress prior to wearing.
Belt was stitched onto the sides
Bustle is a bead with a hook that goes over the bead. It was very easy to bustle after ceremony
No other alterations were made to the dress
There is a rip on the bottom right outer lace layer of the dress. If you are shortening the dress it will be removed when shortened or is otherwise an easy fix.
