This was purchased in size 10 but the entire top of the dress and hips were altered exactly to fit my body. I was roughly a size 4 and 125 lbs on my wedding day. It came sparkling clean after the dry clean. The tough, tight layers and thick material on the top half of the dress hold you in securely and the bustle holds the train up well for dancing. The train is 30". At the front of the dress, it is 30" from the bottom of the torso to the bottom of the dress. I wore 3" heels and I am 5'4".
