This is a gorgeous dress with a wonderful vintage gatsby feel. This dress has only been worn once on my wedding day. It's a two layer dress. There's a gold slip underneath, and a fully beaded top layer. It has a deep V in the back and front with beaded cap sleeves. This is the kind of dress that flows elegantly and effortlessly. The only alterations to the beaded top layer was the hem shortened ( I'm about 5'8). The gold underneath slip had the straps shortened and the hips let out, but the gold slip is easy to alter and has a lot of fabric to work with.
