The Dress

This captivating long sleeve wedding dress catches the light in so many gorgeous ways, from the crystal-beaded waistband to the jeweled buttons down the illusion back, to the sparkling sequin lace appliques on the skirt. Adding to the drama are a illusion bodice with visible corsetry and a pink-tinted underskirt that gives your wedding look a coy hint of color. Complete the ensemble with a cathedral veil (included in purchase price.)

Alterations

I was in-between sizes so bought a size 10 and had it altered including:
- Bodice and Sleeves raised so it wasn't a plunging v-neck and was more modest;
- Shortened to work with two-three inch heels;
- Additional cup padding on bodice for better coverage and no need for bra;
- Bustles added. While there are more than a dozen of them as there are layers to the dress, but with the bridesmaids took five minutes to hook into place.
- Cathedral Veil included in price
- Dry Cleaned and in preservation packaging after one wear to ensure the highest quality for re-wear.

Total alteration, veil, and dry cleaning/preservation costs were over $900 on top of initial price
