Bought in 2018 for 2020 wedding, due to postponed dates (covid) and wedding called off dress remains in garment bag unaltered and never worn. Tulle layers with lace and thread embroidered flowers that start at the bateau neckline descending down waist and hips to become part of the skirt. Plenty of secure boning in bodice to support fuller bust, zip fastening with overlay of buttons. Size 24 off the rack I'm a size 16, alterations were required but were never started.
