I fell in love with this Maggie Sottero dress because of its simple details that were elegant but not "too much." This dress has delicate beading along the edges that is "just enough" for any bride, like me, who wants a little shimmer but is afraid of it being overpowering. I also thought the corseted-back was the perfect addition (I lost 10 lbs. before my wedding and didn't need to get the dress altered because of the corset). When I was shopping I thought I wanted straps, but this dress had the perfect strapless neckline for me because it wasn't simply straight across, and with the corseted back I felt secure all night. Before I went dress shopping, I also thought I definitely did not want an "a-line," but I loved this shape. It was comfortable and super-flattering, making me looking thin and hiding any imperfections. Right after my wedding I had my dress professionally preserved, so it still looks as good as new!

My husband and I are moving into our first home soon, so please contact me if you are interested in this dress because I really just want it to go to a good home!

Alterations

A bustle was added to the dress, but there are no additional alternations.
