Measurements - Height 5'9" - Im 5'7" and wore one inch heels but the skirt was slightly longer for me Bust - 30" Wait - 27" I wore this dress just for my civil ceremony, so a total of 4 hours. I didn't even dance in it since we had the reception the next day, and I wore something else for that. This dress is my dream dress. People were blown away when they saw it and couldn't stop talking about it. It has a cathedral train, and a bustle. The 3d flowers everywhere just look incredible in person. I couldn't have been happier with the dress, and I hope you will be too! The dress has been hemmed to my height with a one inch heel of 5'9" but the top two layers can be opened back up accommodate your needs. The layers below have been cut. Alterations The chest was tightened so it would conform to my chest more snuggly.
