It is a beautiful dress covered in a sheer overlay with lace detail. Underneath the overlay, the dress is more fitted, but not too fitted, and can be altered to have a mermaid style fit (just underneath) with an elegant train over top.
I'm 5'5" and ordered the dress to be a length of 56" (hollow to hem) so I could wear 3" heels. It could probably fit someone taller than 5'5" as well.
I don't recall the exact measurements but think it was roughly 36" bust, 27.5" waist and 39" hips. Although it was altered slightly from there.
It was cleaned and stored after the wedding.
