The Aria dress features a sheer illusion bateau neckline. A seam sits at the natural waist creating a defined waistline. The skirt features an A-line silhouette and is floor length.
I wore this once as a bridesmaid in a wedding in April 2017. There is a hole measuring 1" x 0.5" at the bottom of the back of the dress. Barely noticeable with all the tulle in the dress, and especially when all eyes are on the bride!!
The bottom hem has got minimal staining but DEFINITELY not noticeable when looking at the dress vertically.
As mentioned, the only alteration made to the dress was slight hemming, otherwise the dress fits the following original size 4 measurements per the designer:
Bust: 34"
Natural Waist: 27"
Hip: 37"
Length from top of shoulder to bottom hem: 58" (I'm 5'7", wore the dress with 2.5" heels, and the dress just hit the ground. In the photos, I'm wearing flip flops following the ceremony, so that shows the length with flats.)
