The Dress

This was the first dress I tried on and fell in love with it immediately. I have never been one for ball gowns but something about the taffeta, gems, and low cut back and V-neck made me feel confident.
And the POCKETS. Perfect place to keep tissue when vows are being read. Due to the long train, the bustle is dramatic but I made the decision not to shorten. The dress fit like a glove without suffocating me.
It is a bit heavy and with the straps being half an inch wide, you could feel the weight of it after an extended period of time. Where the weight of the dress has sat on the hanger, you can see the seam of the gems where the alteration was though I only noticed while meticulously looking the dress over.
I would recommend hand steaming to get any wrinkles that may have accumulated while in the bag.
Has not been dry cleaned so will alter the price accordingly.

Jim Hjelm bridal dress featuring pockets, delicate bedazzled gems embedded in the straps, back, and on the tops of the bust that catch the light beautifully. The train encourages a stunning entrance and walk down the aisle. Altered buttons on the back to allow the train to become the bustle with each button given an intricate flower design. The low front gives a shapely boost to your breast but leaves room should you want a fabric cover to be added for a more modest look.

Alterations

Original buttons added on the back that turns the train into the dress bustle.
