The Dress

When I tried on this dress at a local boutique, I knew it was the one. I was looking for a simple, elegant look that also felt modern enough so I wasn't costume-y at my wedding! I wanted a low back and a modest front. The dress has stretch to it so that it conforms to your figure to look custom made. I had some alterations done (see below) but not much, as I wanted to preserve the dress exactly so.

I had an August California wedding in a church with a reception near the beach. This dress was perfect for the heat! I did not add a bustle as I changed into something a little shorter (not wanting to drag the train in the dirt).

From the designer: A THEIA signature style, this bateau neckline open back mermaid, flare gown is made for that picture perfect moment. Grandiose in its stature, the simplicity of the stretch crepe which streamlines the figure speaks for itself.

Alterations

I had a couple of alterations done:
1) I had the dress shortened (it comes very long brand new) to accomodate me at 5'8" plus 2.5" heels (that's 5'10.5" in height). I didn't have the train shortened, however.
2) I had the waist and hips taken in. Current measurements are post-alteration. I didn't want this dress to fit me tightly (which is how it is designed to fit) but more of a skimming look. Thus, this dress will easily fit an 8 or 10 still, and could easily be altered down to a 6. The fabric is not super heavy, but feels substantial and lovely on.
3) I had bra cups sewn in for support. They have been very delicately removed. I highly recommend this strategy if you are well endowed!

Original measurements of dress:
Bust 38" (2 inches off, now 36")
Waist 30.5" (1/2 inch off, now 30")
Hips 40.5" (2 1/2 inches off, now 38")
