The Dress

Fall in love with this wedding stunner, by designer Martina Liana! This was my absolute dream dress, and I hope it can be yours as well for your big day :)

From the designer website:
LACE COLUMN WEDDING DRESS WITH LATTICE DETAIL
Over 18,000 beads create lattice and linear designs, complementing a sheer lace back that is finished with pearl beads in this lace column wedding dress by designer Martina Liana. Side cutouts add a subtle sheerness under a heavily beaded bodice, covered in bugle beads and pearls. The linear latticework sculpts the body into flattering shapes, while the floating back straps have an organic finish that adds to this polished look. Lace over Imperial crepe in a column silhouette feels classic in design and romantic in style. The open back of this column wedding dress closes with a zipper under pearl buttons.

It was form fitting but extremely comfortable (the Imperial crepe underlay is very stretchy, almost like spandex, and was easy to sit in and to dance in!), not too heavy of a dress. I felt romantic, sexy, and comfortable all at the same time, it's really such an amazing dress and I got so many compliments on how it looked on me. I'm 5'3" and wore 3" heels. I wore on my wedding day only, and sent to a professional dry cleaner just a few weeks after. Has been safely stored in a plastic cover and Martina Liana bag.

Alterations

-Sewed in cups so I didn't have to wear a bra
-Shortened straps slightly, to hug shoulders (not tight, just wanted to fit snug/not fall off)
-Added 5-point American bustle
