Designer's Website Description:

The train takes center stage in this magnificent trumpet dress. The skirt, fitted at the waist travels down over the hip and opens out into a spectacular train in soft tulle. The off-the-shoulder bodice, long sleeves in crystal tulle and illusion back blend into the skin, while depicting elegant floral motifs in lace and thread embroidery. This illusion neckline gown is made with Ivory Spanish lace and it comes with a matching cathedral length veil. The illusion open back has a layer of tool with delicate French buttons.

Note: Since the style of the gown is a mermaid/trumpet, it is fitted to the curves of your body. Standard sizing in these types of styles tend to sit in the incorrect spots (bust, waist, and hips) for shorter women. The "Petite" sizing is created so that the proportions will hit you in all the right area where the natural bust, waist, and hips fall on a shorter girl. The proportions will make you look taller and you will need less alterations in the end. The gown can still be altered more to fit your body. If you prefer more length, you could wear the gown without the crinoline.
