Here's a description of the dress via the email I received:
Perfect for a nontraditional wedding or a reception dress that you can really dance in! Fantastic with a birdcage veil and shoes in your favorite color! 100% Silk Devore Satin in vines. Devore satin is a satin that has a patterned burned out, making the spaces in between the design sheer. Fitted and fully boned bodice with sweetheart neckline acts as corset and provides support. Skirt gathered at waist with multiple layers of tulle in the underskirt. Bodice lined in duchess satin, skirt lined in charmeuse. Low scooped back. Shown in natural white.
