The Dress

This dress is a beautiful, classic silhouette. I wanted a dress that didn't distract from our lush outdoor setting, that reflected my understated yet elegant style, and that I could accessorize with fun colors & jewelry for more personal detail.

Made from a beautiful, thick-hugging crepe fabric that is a dream to wear. I felt the cut showed just enough of my chest. I love the way the sides under the arms dip, which not only makes it more modern & sexy, but also, I didn't have to worry about rubbing or deodorant marks. It shows off your back while still giving you the support you want to move & dance freely. There's a small train that adds just enough drama and elegance. The site says "stuns from every angle" - and it's true!

The dress presses and travels very well. Color is ivory, no marks or damage.

Has been professionally dry-cleaned and stored in original garment bag from the Lovely Bride boutique in a non-smoking home. I'm sad to part with it, but know it will make another woman feel timelessly gorgeous on her special day!

From current Sunkissed collection by new sustainable designer, Scout (by Sarah Seven), made in the US.

Alterations

My seamstress added an outside bustle, support cups inside the bust, and took it in along the torso and hips to make it more form-fitting and flattering on my toosh. The cups can be easily removed, and the dress can be let out to restore to its original measurements. The boutique ordered me an 8 because of my bust/ribcage size, so it could easily fit someone who is either a 6 or an 8.
