This dress is insane! I never thought I could wear something with an open back but it is so structured my DD bust stayed up all night through dancing. Stunning train with bustle. I did take up the shoulders about 2 inches so I could wear it with 4 in wedges. I am 5"4. It kills me to part with this beauty but I know it's meant for someone else's magical day. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! I'm a 10 but sized up to a 12.
