The Dress

This is an absolutely stunning gown from Lazaro. The style is #3658 and it’s from the Fall 2018 collection. It was only worn for a few hours for first look photos and the ceremony since I changed into a reception gown. It is a dress size 8 (street size 4) and after alterations fits like a size 2. The lace is slightly detaching from the illusion mesh on the side (see photos) but is hardly noticeable and could easily be fixed by a single stitch.

I absolutely loved this dress and hope it can make some bride as happy as it made me! We live in a small apartment and don't have any room for it!

Features POCKETS (which were truly lifesaving for tissues, my vows, and chapstick!), a chapel length train, and an American 3 point (hidden buttons) bustle (see last photo which shows it bustled).

Will add in a Lazaro chapel length veil (originally 200$) and extra Lazaro Alençon lace (originally 500$ for the extra lace) which can be added to the veil or used to add more lace to the bodice, or for anything!

I paid 4,500$ for the dress and accessories. Alterations (listed below) were an additional 700$, and professional dry-cleaning immediately after wearing was an additional 300$.

Alterations:
3-point American bustle added (with hidden loops and buttons)
Hemmed to fit my 5'5" frame with 3" heels (so would fit someone up to 5'8" without heels)
Waist was brought in - about 23-24", 12" while laying flat across
Extra Alençon lace was added to fill in the bust area
B/C nude cups were added
There are no major flaws - Some of the lace is coming off to the side of the bodice which can be easily repaired with a stitch. There are very slight water marks at the very bottom of the dress that did not come out completely with the professional cleaning.

Measurements:

From shoulder to floor 49" (front) and 68" back (because of chapel length train).
Waist is 12" across (laying flat)
Veil is 102" from top to bottom.
