The Dress

I received so many compliments on my dress the day of and even months afterwards! This unique dress has a sheer corset up top with netting to hold up the dress so you aren't fussing with it all night! It is fully embroidered with beading and pearls that led to just the right amount of sparkle in the sunlight and while celebrating on the dance floor. I loved that when the dress was bustled it aligned so well with the bottom portion of the dress while still looking elegant. I loved wearing the dress both ways! Since the dress flares out well above my knees, it was easy to have a choreographed dance with my husband as well as dance the night away without feeling constrained. I hope this wedding dress makes you feel like the best version of yourself on your big day just like it did for me!

Alterations

Underlay was originally blush. Changed to ivory/ivory.
Let out hips by 1in total(half inch, half inch to each side).
Took off 3in from bottom front of dress hem so it wouldn't drag on floor(I am 5'8" and wore 3in heels).
Added bustle for train.
