The Dress
I love this gown/dress! This gown is an intricate, deco-inspired beading brings the 1920s to life . Artfully placed tulle panels that sway with every step add dimension and glamour. It's designed by Mignon and from BHLDN. This dress is truly sleek and sexy, fitting to curves, but has that flare. I was really in between a mermaid style dress and A-line or sheath, and this was the perfect combination of all styles in a timeless fashion.
I wore this gown for my wedding which was on the beach during the day, and then we had the reception at a brewery at mid-day until the evening. It was the perfect dress to twirl in, look AND FEEL fabulous, and was very glamorous but also practical. I wore it all day long for 12+ hours and it was comfortable the whole way through, the straps did not dig into my shoulders and it was easy to go to the bathroom in (if you even have time to do that, lol). I specifically included a photo of my father daughter dance as I was twirling and you can really see how nice the dress flares out and is so pretty.
The beading is SO pretty, especially in the sunlight, photos just don't do it justice. The beads and sequin range from iridescent, pearl, antique milky white, to crystal and silver (although my ring is rose gold and some accent colors for the wedding were gold and rose gold, which did not clash, it went together beautifully). Please note that some of the beads/sequin have fallen off, even before I got the dress, they are not sewed on the best. That being said, no obvious patches are missing, I have reinforced a few areas which are not noticeable, and the beading is still very complete and beautiful. After a full day of beach wind at the ceremony and an afternoon of dancing, twirling, and being picked up, a few beads fell off here and there but it mainly held up super well, just want to be upfront about it!
I sewed a bra (32D) into the straps for the dress to have some bust coverage. As you can see from the BHLDN site, this is not necessary, but I personally preferred the look of it. I also adjusted the straps slightly so it sat a bit higher up on my chest. I have removed the bra (this did not damage the dress at all, no sew marks can be seen) and I left the straps open (un-sewed on the back side of the dress) so the future owner could adjust the strap size as needed for bust/shoulder/etc. differences so it sits right where you want it. There is a zipper that zips all the way up the back which you cannot see, and one part of the eye hook to close off the top part of the dress is missing, however, the zipper stayed put all day long and did not start to come open and it was missing the entire day (came like that).
I am 5' 5" tall, 32D or 34C bra size, 125lbs and this dress fit my like a glove with no alterations other than height (as I wore barefoot sandals and then flats).

Alterations
This dress has been hemmed to fit a person who is 5' 5"-5'6" WITHOUT heels. The straps are currently not sewed on all the way as I adjusted them to fit myself and figured it would be best for the future owner to do that as well, very easy sew two spaghetti straps onto just the back side of the dress at the correct length for you so it fits you just perfect!
