The gown is a stunning light gold color. There is a French bustle. And the removable cap sleeves are gorgeous detail. Cap sleeves were worn for ceremony and removed for reception. With French bustle and cap sleeves off guests thought I had an amazing second wedding dress! I have the certificate of authenticity as well. I am 5’9” 135 and needed no alterations with a 2 inch heel. The gorgeous lace up back eliminates much need for alteration. I preferred the laces tied closely and the 10 worked perfectly. Due to the lace up back many body types and sizes would fit wonderfully. This dress was preserved immediately following my 2005 wedding. It has only been removed from preservation to post photos here.
