The Dress

This dress met all my requirements. As I'm sure most brides know, you just know it 's the right one immediately. I had been carrying around a magazine photo of this dress for months to use as a guide. I never thought about actually finding it. After trying on 20 gowns one day, this gown came out and that was it. I said "that's the one in my picture !"
The quality is exquisite, bodice, sleeves, and skirt are satin, with tulle under skirt. The sleeves are pointed buttons on the sleeves are decorative only. I was never a "bow gal" but these (on shoulders)are so subtle and tasteful I loved them anyway.
My gown was cleaned and "heirloomed" by a professional cleaner after the wedding. It remains sealed and packed in special acid free paper, from the heirloomer and double boxed. I am glad I decided to store it that way. I amazingly did not spill any food or drink on it.
I unfortunately was unable to have children, so no one to pass it down too, as I had hoped. But this option will give another bride a chance to feel like a princess on her wedding day.

My Vera Wang veil is also included. Very simple, medium length. Wearing in photos.

Alterations

Length was adjusted for me. At the time I was 5'4'' and wore heels approximately 2 inches.
