I bought this dress in Natural color, as I was told the ivory had a yellowish tint to it; I absolutely loved it. It has beautiful pick ups which give this dress some depth and elegance. I removed the flowers that were by the chest area because I thought it had a more clean, polished look without them. I still have the flowers in case the prospective buyer feels differenly. I had cups put in the bust, so that I wouldn't have to bother with a strapless bra. The only other alteration was the bustle which put me at $320 for alternations. I had the dress dry cleaned and bagged right after wedding. I will be picking it up in a couple of weeks at which point it will be ready for a new owner! Please let me know if you are interested.
