The Dress

Martina Liana - 904 - This dress made me feel like every bride should feel... gloriously stunning. From the time I tried it on in the shop, strangers would stop on their way by to tell me how amazing I looked. I never even went to my 2nd dress shopping appointment - I bought it that day! I thought I wanted something totally different, but when the salesperson brought this to me, I couldn't imagine anything else. It has, what my awesome salesperson called, "structure", which held me in all the right places with no shapewear required! The train buttons up to allow you to transition seamlessly from ceremony to reception.Worn for a few hours at an evening wedding in January 2020, professionally cleaned and ready for its 2nd showing!
Color: Parisian Silk Chiffon over Lustre Satin
Detail: Ivory and Diamante Beading
Fabric Color: Ivory Lace and Ivory and Stone Tulle over Pewter Dolce Satin

Alterations

Minor alternations for me to wear flats, so I wasn't taller than my dear husband!
