The Dress

A flattering classic style dress perfect for a bride who wants to shine with just the right amount of sparkles. The dress dazzles with delicate lace, featuring 3-D floral motifs with a touch of shimmering beads that subtly catch the light. It has a formfitting bodice, deep sweetheart neckline with scalloped trim, and beaded spaghetti straps that continue through the low V-back. The waist is framed with pearl-shaped beads, followed by an A-line silhouette in soft fabric embroided in delicate flowers, that leads to a beautifully scalloped lace hem and floor-sweeping cathedral-length train. The train can be collected into a bustle using seven pick up points.

Alterations

This dress is gorgeous! End of May, 2018, my husband and I decided to plan and have a wedding in only two months. The game was on and I had to find the perfect dress in such a short time. At first, I thought I'll never find my dream dress. A month and three trips to NYC later, after wearing many many dresses, I found this dazzling dress in a NYC store, standing as a new sample. Flattering all over, both sexy and sophisticated, it was THE DRESS I was looking for. The only problem was that it was big for me and had to be altered. Luckily, the bridal salon had in-store alterations. Knowing that bridal salon tailors are the best in this profession, I purchased the dress and left it with the salon to alter it for me. Next trip to NYC, and the dress was stunningly fit, flawlessly ready for the wedding. I received so many compliments from our wedding guests, friends who have seen our photos, and even our wedding photographer! I was lucky to find this new sample in store in such a short time and to have such an expert alter it for me. Now I wish to extend this luck to the next bride wearing it in her special day! You're going to look stunning in it :)
