The Dress

Minimalist crepe mermaid wedding dress with short sleeves. Bodice with bateau neckline and a large center back opening. I am 5'10" and a street size 6 in most brands--dress has been altered only slightly from the size ordered, so would be perfect for further alterations for anyone shorter than I am or slightly smaller.

First three photos are the sample dress, one size smaller than the one I purchased (the sample was just a bit tight as you can see from the photos), but these photos give a good view of the beautiful details that I loved of this dress. Last few photos are from wedding of the actual dress being sold. More photos from the designer here: https://www.pronovias.com/wedding-dresses/valeria-dress-simple-short-sleeve

There are some light shadows around the very bottom hem from dirt marks that the dry cleaner was able to get out almost entirely. If you hem the dress at all, they would disappear, but even if no hemming is done, they're hard to see and wouldn't show up in photos or to the naked eye, unless someone was closely examining the hem.

I adored this dress and would love for someone else to get to enjoy it!

Alterations

Very minimal hemming (I am 5'10" and wore flat sandals with it) and taken in slightly at points around the waist, bra cups loosley sewn into the bodice for more coverage (could easily be removed or adjusted), and moisture wicking fabric sewn into the inside of the armpit area (not noticeable on the dress itself but help to prevent any sweat marks). Ties sewn into the train for bustling (french bustle) that could easily be removed or adjusted if needed.
