The Dress

This wedding dress is a dream! Very "romantic". It's super flattering because it's fitted and is like a sheath dress, but has this lace overlay that is totally dreamy.
The sheath part inside has a couple of linings so it hugs pretty well and keeps things "in". Also, the top of the dress is like a corset, so it holds the top part in and gives you this nice waist/hip look. The back is amazing! It's all lace and pretty low in the back, but not too low. The detailing in the back with the lace is beautiful. I got sooooo many compliments on it. I loved everything about it. It's strapless but I added two lace straps that are detachable. The seamstress did a great job with the lace straps... you can put it so it's off the shoulders or put them up so it looks like the dress has straps. I wore it off the shoulder for the ceremony and then put the straps up for the cocktail hour/beginning of reception, then took the straps off for the reception. It was like a 3 in 1.

Alterations

Created detachable straps/off shoulder straps. Had it taken in for more fitting look and had it hemmed to my height. I am 5'6 and wore 4 inch heels with the dress. Added bra cups for extra support. I also have the rhinestone belt for a more fancy/evening look (worn at the reception).
Can clip the train up so the dress is all floor length.
Paid $970 for the alterations and the belt was $200.
