This Berta wedding dress is not only sexy but elegant and classy. It's only been worn for 5 hours, i received so many compliments on it. I did remove the tassels from the bow, but that only elevated the style. I also purchased a french petit coat to go under the dress so that it gives the bottom more volume especially because our first dance was salsa and i didn't want to trip over it. I had a simple bird cage veil, that i can include with the purchase of the dress, it suits this style of dress perfectly. Get ready to wow your soon to be husband as well as friends and family in this stunning gown for a fraction of the retail value. I'm very happy to be able to pass this dress along to another very lucky bride. Enjoy!
