Long sleeves with beads all the way down the arms it sort of came into a triangle at my hands Long stain and lace and beaded train, There was a big cut out heart in the back with tear drop beads handing from it, and a little cut out heart in the front. It was the dress I had always had in mind growing up when thinking about my wedding.
