I absolutely love this dress! Unfortunately we cancelled our wedding and I was never able to wear the dress so it is brand new. For the pictures, I pulled it out of the shipping box and did not have it steamed or anything so take that into account in the pictures of me!
I was planning to wear without the corset top. The dress has a a simple top with two seam lines vertical along the bust that are extremely slimming and emphasize a small frame in the ball gown style dress. Corset is included in box so you could wear it either way.
