This dress is simple elegance. The crystals, pearls and beads along the bust line give it sparkle. The soft A-line skirt falls nicely away without being bulky. There are "fake" buttons and crystals down the back of the train. It has a french bustle which is very simple to secure. The color is called cafe - and that's a good description. It's definitely not ivory. It's closer to champagne, if you had to pick a more known color. Veil and built-in bra included.
