The Dress

I tried on SO many beautiful dresses but the one of a kind cowl neck and subtly asymmetrical embroidery/sequins are what sold me on this one!

I love how it's unique in a classy, not-too-showy way -- I had an outdoor wedding but I genuinely think she'd fit right in indoors or outdoors! I loooved having a lot of detail on the back and sides on a day when I was constantly being looked at and photographed from every angle. The fabric has enough stretch to be comfortable and I was able to dance in it (though the train does make it a touch on the heavier side).

****The video was taken the day of posting to show the professional dry cleaning and give you a better sense of the details, texture, embroidery, and padding that you could get removed from the bust***

One last note -- this is an exclusive gown to Castle Couture in NJ. I cannot for the life of me find any evidence of a listing or other pictures of it online... which I think shows how unique it is BUT I understand that seems a bit odd and am happy to show documentation of my purchase if you're interested in seeing it!

I SO hope this wonderfully unique dress gets a second chance at life :) It doesn't deserve to just sit in my closet forever.

Alterations

We ordered a size 12 for my hips, but it's been substantially taken in in the torso area! Definitely check my measurements above for a better idea.

It also has padding in the chest (pretty thick - over a cm - see video!) so if you have a larger chest than me, you could remove those easily!

There's a bustle added too -- i will include the hook tool to do it up.
