V-neck front with mesh overlay, so the actual neckline is straight across. V-cut back. Beautiful beading on bodice, sleeves, skirt and train. Satin fabric. Very flattering fit. Zipper back. Chapel-length train is ready for a bustle for after the ceremony. I simply adored this dress, but my daughter prefers a different style for her own wedding. Very slight yellow spot on bottom of bodice, but this is the only area of discoloration that I was able to see.
Detail photos of the scalloped lace bodice edge on the front and back of the bodice are included. Covered buttons at the bottom of the sleeves are decorative. I simply love this gown, but it's time for someone else to treasure it as much as I have all of these years.
Hips have extra interior netting for a exaggerated hips. I wore this with a rented crinoline underskirt (not included), but it looks beautiful without the underskirt as well. The main two photos do not have a crinoline skirt underneath.
