The Dress

Gorgeous fit and flare style. Satin with english net and lace applique. Satin buttons down the length of the dramatic back.

This is a fabulous, comfortable dress. Perfect for a relaxed, vintagey wedding or could be glammed up with some sparkle for a more formal and glitzy feel.

It has been professionally cleaned by Prestige Preservation (http://www.prestigepreservation.com/). Without opening too much of the bag it came back in, I've been able to confirm that the train and bottom hem are spotless. Other than that area, the dress was perfectly clean at the end of our day, so it's still like new for yours! :)

My measurements:
Bust - 34
Waist (above hip bones) - 30
High Waist (at narrowest point) - 27
Hips (at widest point) - 37
Hollow to hem (length) - 55 (I'm 5'4 - 5'5 and I wore flats)

Bra cups have been sewn in (B cups); can be taken out easily and without damage to the dress. Bustle was also added with a simple loop on the train that hooks onto one of the buttons. Bra cups and bustle loop were added by a professionally trained, experienced seamstress. Her work is immaculate.

I found the colours listed by Allure a bit misleading. They called the colour of the satin cafe and the lace ivory. The satin is a very muted cafe colour; the lace I would call closer to offwhite or cream. Not at all the typical yellow-ivory that I would expect. To give you an idea, the groom's dress shirt was white (pictured wearing a blue suit) and my father's shirt was ivory (pictured on the dance floor with a grey suit).

Please note that I was not able to register with my correct postal code. I am located in south-west Toronto. I am willing to travel within the GTA with the dress for the right person, and I am willing to discuss the option of shipping the dress to you.

Please feel free to ask about anything you feel I've left out! I wish you all the best in your wedding planning!
