I fell in love with this dress before I even tried it on. It's a beautiful dress with corset top made from duchess silk satin with french tulle. The color is offiaclly called "silk mink" with ivory tulle - as you can see in the pictures, it is a champagne color. The back is a lace up. The beading detail on top is exquisite. The dress is extremely flattering.
I had a simple bustle. At the end of the evening, someone stepped on my dress and the two bustle buttons broke off. However, the dress was not ripped.
A bead or two have fallen off the top corset however it is not noticable.
