The Dress

BHLDN Kieran dress. https://www.bhldn.com/product/kieran-gown

Exaggerated flutter sleeves, a body-skimming silhouette, and sheer godet detailing on the skirt give this dress its modern bohemian appeal.

I purchased this dress from BHLDN in January 2019 for $800+ tax, paid $550 for alterations (see below) and $120 to have it professionally dry cleaned. I have the original bag for the dress. I also purchased BHLDN earrings and hair accessories if you are interested in those as well. I wore this in February for my beach wedding and it was truly stunning, but the absolute best part of the dress was the comfort. The lace is extremely soft and the dress just moves with you. You can wear a regular bra so there is no fussing with a strapless.

Alterations

I am 5'4" and wore 2" heals with this dress. I paid $550 to have the dress altered by a seamstress in her 70s that was professionally trained in Poland at age 13 and has spent her entire life doing alterations. Yes, that was expensive for an $800 dress but she is well known and I wanted it perfect. The alterations included: (1) the addition of tiny hooks to bustle the dress following the ceremony; (2) added nude cups to the chest to give my sisters greater support (3) took up the sleeves by the shoulder area as the shoulder/chest area was a bit loose and seemed to slide off my shoulders (4) shorten the length to accommodate my 5'4" frame. Given that the dress has sheer godet detailing (which is so stunning), the seamstress had to alter each section so the "slits" would hit at the correct location. We did one fitting pre-alteration and the day I picked it up, it was perfect.
