The Dress

This dress is simple, elegant and, SO flattering. I have a larger chest and I found the corset top to be shockingly supportive and it gave me a very tiny waist, without being restrictive. The dove satin is part of what sold me on the dress. It has a beautiful soft texture with a sheen, but it isn't shiny. There are detachable off-the-shoulder straps. Plus, it has POCKETS!

The dress has a zip closure, so you don't have to fuss with the adorable buttons that run all the way down the back.

I purchased this dress for my Covid wedding, but when our plans changed I never ended up wearing it. It was a little heartbreaking not to wear this dress, since I felt absolutely beautiful in it. It is in excellent condition, but may need to be re-cleaned and steamed since it has been in storage in my closet (pet-free home) since receiving it March of 2020.

Below is a link to the dress itself, so you can see more pictures! I have no photos of myself in the dress because I never wore it outside of purchasing it and for an alterations appointment.(Cover photo is from link below).

Alterations

The dress has been hemmed (the expensive part!) to fit someone 5'4" in 3" heels, so the length would be appropriate for anyone under 5'4", up to around 5'7" (depending on shoes).

There was also a button and small loops added for the bustle.
