The Dress

I tried on SO many dresses and finally found the one. The material of the dress is crepe, which hugs your body and creates a really pretty silhouette. The two things I loved about this dress are how light it felt and the gorgeous lace. I changed into a different dress for the reception so I didn't get this bustled. The dress has a "speed strap" inside so that you're "locked and loaded." It's basically a 3-4" elastic band with fish hooks that go under your breasts to keep everything up. I feel like I have smaller boobs and I never felt like it was going to fall down throughout the ceremony and pictures.

The cool part is that it has an invisible zipper inside the buttons, so it has the button detail without the hassle of buttoning every single button.

Description from Designer:

"Sensuality gains momentum in this beautiful mermaid dress with a sweetheart neckline. A natural-waist design created to play up the most absolute femininity. A dress with a spectacular train that flares out, godet-style, at the bottom, to reveal fantastic appliqués with embroidered tulle and sparkling beading to match the appliqués on the bodice, which descend to the top of the hips."
