The Dress

This dress made me feel amazing! My favorite part is the details of the corset - minimal but beautiful. The buttons all the way down the back are also gorgeous (and zipped, not individual buttons). It is definitely a fitted dress down your torso to about your mid-thigh, but I felt very comfortable in it once I had it on for a bit. The color is actually a 'pearl' as well.

It is in very good condition - we had it cleaned and preserved immediately after the event, along with the simplistic veil (Cathedral style in ivory with a blusher - I didn't put the blusher over my face, but an option!). There is a stain on the under part of the dress but should not be viewable when bustled or not. In addition, this is a French Bustle and was easy to do according to my wedding planner :)

Alterations

Alterations were to fit my body, taken in in the usual places - bust, torso, and we only altered the length slightly. I wore 3 inch heels (a strappy nude sandal with a block heel for the grass - mountain wedding!)

One note - we ordered to a size 12 for a slightly longer torso area
