The Dress

Traditional details with updated design elements create a uniquely sexy look on this Stella York wedding dress. Cotton-style vintage laces create a floral explosion throughout the fitted silhouette and stand out against the neutral Georgette lining for a multi-dimensional look. A combination of French and eyelash laces finish the hem and neckline for a touch of old-world charm, while the V-neckline with wide lace straps feels casual yet classic. The back of this gown features an incredible floral lace design that complements the floating fabric buttons, and the delicate yet multi-layered train flows out from beneath the hips to create an enviably feminine shape.

This is dress 6933 and was extremely comfortable to wear for the whole evening. I loved that it was white covering a champagne-like color to give a little bit more contrast to show off the lace detailing. I selected photos of bright sun and night so you can see how it changes. The beading shimmers in the light as well. It was comfortable to wear, dance, and sit in without issue. There is a zipper on the back to the end of the under fabric and the lace is buttoned up.

Alterations

I had the dress shortened to fit my 5-foot height by a few inches. I wore it with 2.5-inch heels and it kissed the ground. I also had the shoulder straps shortened very slightly to push my girls up. Additionally, I had the seamstress add 3 buttons to the bottom flair of the train to create a bustle so I could wear it post-ceremony at the reception without issues. I'll add how to pin up the bustle in the video.
