The Dress

Cap sleeve, A-line dress with tulle and beading. It is floor length with a small train. Built in cups, exposed upper back. I purchased it from Twirl Bridal in Ohio, and it is made by Stella York. I loved this dress because it was comfortable and easy to move in, but I still felt elegant and got a lot of positive feedback about it. It’s a size 16 US, and I generally wear a size 12 in regular clothes. I’m hoping to sell it because I loved it so much it seemed like such a waste for it to sit in my closet forever when there could be someone out there who enjoys it as much as I did. It has been dry cleaned.

Description of the dress from Stella York site:

This casual and sophisticated wedding dress from designer Stella York is a dream come true! Lace and French tulle come together to create a column silhouette that is both glamorous, simple and casual. Vintage-inspired beading covers the soft French lace of the bodice and delicate cap sleeves and ends at the smallest part of the bride’s waist. The scalloped-lace neckline of this casual gown adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the wide neckline. A deep V-back accentuates the back of this gown, and is highlighted with a beaded trim and scalloped details. The column-shaped tulle skirt feels refined and simple, and complements the intricate beading of the bodice well. This simple and sophisticated wedding dress zips up beneath signature crystal buttons.

Alterations

The waist was brought in slightly, and the front altered slightly to be more form-fitting on the top. It was shortened- I am 5’4” and wore it with flats. Some of the length at the bottom was used to create a small train.
