Despite being a sample, I haven't found a single flaw. There may be loose threads to be found upon close inspection, but nothing noticeable.
This dress fits snugly and stretches over curves. It is a soft, flexible material with no boning. I love the way it showed my figure.
The lace is so unique and beautiful! It's a 3D lace with scattered flowers that come off the fabric. It's very boho/fairy chic.
There is a keyhole back with functional fabric covered buttons above the hole with hooks and eyes for extra security. Below it, there is a zipper with the same buttons, but purely decorational.
There is no waist seam, which I think makes it look more seamless. The lace fades out below the hips and then fades into the lace trim which goes around the train.
It didn't fit my waist, but that was expected when looking at the measurements, which were very true to size. I am selling it because I am having a winter wedding and this dress doesn't quite fit the theme. Keep in mind the underlying dress under the less is champagne, which is more tan than I initially expected. As you can see from the photos of the back, it is an almost beige color. With the lace overlay, it appears more ivory, but definitely not white.
I will find the least expensive shipping option.
