The Dress

*Please read this entire description before purchasing to make sure this dress is the right fit for you!*

Galia Lahav GALA 1010 dress, size 40 but altered to fit me (I am a size 2). These wedding dress sizes kind of confuse me, so I did my best guessing the “label size”.

My measurements are:

Bust: 32-33 (B-C cup) 

Waist: 24-25

Hips: 33-34

Height: 5'6, wore 1" sandals with dress. 

Sizing notes: because of the corset style, this dress should really be able to fit anyone from a size 0-4. That is the only part of the dress that was altered besides the length.

Notes: 

+ Cups are lined, dress is tulle lined inside.

+ Raw edge hem with train and option to bustle (hidden clips). The dress was shortened for me.

+ Tie up corset in back (makes this dress really flexible for sizing -- anyone from a size 0 to a size 4 could wear this dress).

+ I wore the dress WITHOUT the sleeves and somehow lost them, so **this dress does NOT come with the sleeves**.

+ This dress comes with a matching tulle veil ($1000 retail value). The veil was slightly damaged and was fixed (slight marks on the end of it but not readily visible or noticeable).

+ Imperfections: I wore this dress on the beach and the train dragged, so it got a bit of discoloration in certain places. This dress has been professionally cleaned and I've gone through and fixed anything else I noticed, but I may have missed some discoloration on certain appliques (pictures provided of what it could look like). Again, this is really not noticeable, and if you find it, the Tide pen works great! Also, the delicate tulle ripped at one point and I had it fixed, but there is one part with an applique that (again, not noticeable) I noticed while searching thouroughly that is a bit ripped. Lastly, the style of this dress is a raw hem, so you will notice some uneveness or imperfections, but that's how I wore it on the day of and it's not noticeable at all.
