The outer layer is a mixture of chantilly lace, beading, and tiny sequins that sparkle as you move. The sides are sheer and the the front bodice can be sheer too. I added a modesty panel in the front which is easily removable. The lining is light champagne with cups and boning. Both layers together creates a warm cream color that photographs amazingly. The dress is fitted but it was comfortable to move around in. The tag is Israeli size 12, I am a street size 2-4. I am 5 ft 2 inches, the dress was altered with 5 inch heels. Also includes an American bustle. I only wore it once and it was dry cleaned right after. I love the dress and I took care to not damage it. It is a simple dress but still looks different than many dresses that are out there. I hope this dress makes another bride happy!! This beautiful Alon Livne "Daria" gown was featured in the 2015 collection.
