I bought this dress for my senior prom, and I couldn't be happier! This dress does have some serious assembly required, but I love how customizable it is. It does require either multiple petticoats or a heavy-duty crinoline to give it some poof, since the skirt is very heavy due to how much detail there is. You also will likely want someone with you to help you put everything on, since some accessories are clipped onto the back. Also be warned that this dress is not meant for lots of moving around, it's best worn for sitting and looking pretty! It's very heavy, the train will get caught on everything, and you can't move your upper arms much with the sleeves. But you'll feel like a gothic princess the whole time, and the dress quality makes it all worth it!!!
Your prom dress sounds magical! A bit of assembly and a sturdy crinoline give it the perfect poof. Thanks for the tips on getting help with the back and managing the dress's grandeur.
We're so glad you're feeling like royalty in it. Enjoy your night of elegance! :D
