The dress is very comfortable and felt much lighter than many dresses I tried on. I was to have a summer wedding, and felt as though the taffeta-like fabric would have been perfect for that time of year. The v-neck and back allows for coverage while still showing off your shoulders and arms. There are buttons that run most of the way down the back, and there are two options for the bustle to show off those buttons. The silhouette is somewhere between an A-line and a very subtle trumpet or a subtle fit-to-flare. There is some beading embellishment that could easily be removed without showing signs of such work if you so wanted.
