The upper part of the dress is made up of unbelievable soft silk and feels like heaven when it's on. I went to a friend's wedding where she had jewels on the bodice and by the end of the night her arms were raw so when I was originally looking for this dress I was doing everything I could to avoid that same thing happening to me.
The body is a corset type and keeps everything up in place quite well. The skirt is full and beautiful.
The back closure is a zipper closer with a faux button back.
I have always loved this wedding dress, and even though I didn't end up wearing it I kept it in pristine condition. I have decide to get married, finally, but we're getting married on a beach and this dress is just a bit too big for a beach wedding. I hope whomever decides to buy this dress loves it as much as I have. The dress still has all the original tags attached (including the original price tag).
