The Dress

Modern with timeless influences, the stunning Maggie Sottero Alaina Aldora Crepe Bridal Gown is the perfect choice for any contemporary bride who wants a sophisticated and sexy look for her wedding day. Crafted using elegant Adora crepe, this piece combines subtle shimmer with dazzling embroidered lace motifs and Swarovski crystal detailing throughout. A flirtatious v-neckline accented by tapered illusion lace sleeves slims the figure and adds a dramatic touch when paired with the open scoop back. The classic sheath silhouette skims the body, accenting feminine curves beautifully. An attached beaded belt adorned with Swarovski crystals adds a further touch of sparkle, cinching in the natural waistline as well. The breathtaking Aldora crepe skirt is adorned with lace motifs and accented by illusion cutout detailing along the court-style train for a truly dazzling appearance from head to toe.

I knew this dress was the one I was looking for as soon as I tried it one! It fit like a glove and accented my body in all the best ways. The lace was gorgeous and fit my upper body better than I could have ever imagined (I didn't even need to wear a bra) and the ivory crepe fabric fit my lower body like a glove and the beading on the dress is so beautifully ornate, it is the perfect combination of simple and elegant. The low back flows into buttons that lead down the slim and fitted butt and into a long, elegant lace 4-foot train.

This dress was a dream and although comfort isn't always an important quality on the big day, this dress was very comfortable and the bustle made the dress perfect for dancing for hours!

Alterations

I made 3 alterations:
1. The first was creating a "Kardashian Butt" as the seamstress called it to make the fabric under the butt more fitted and make the booty look more bubbled as it flows into the legs. It was the PERFECT touch!
2. I had hidden loops and buttons added for the bustle for the train.
3. I added 2 inches the dress to make it longer (I am 5'10 and wore 2 inch heels).
