The Dress

The custom dress I ordered online finally came just 2 weeks before my wedding. I tried it on and it was a disaster! The material was stretched out, lace didn't lay right, it was a nightmare. I pulled up the images I saved on my phone of other dresses that looked similar or had a similar style....tan/cream base with a lace overlay that highlighted the modern take on a lace dress. I went to the bridal store I was referred to (in Washington, DC) and the dress I am selling was the first wedding dress I tried on there...and ever! It was the only dress in the store like it and while it was much too large, the alterations team assured me they could fit it to me to perfectly, which they did. The strapless mermaid style WToo dress is a modern take on a lace dress with tan/beige undertones and ivory lace overlay with a long lace train (and bustle). The dress is beautiful. I had purchased a second dress that was for the after party that I actually ended up wearing for the full wedding after I took a few pictures in the traditional gown.

Alterations

The dress was altered from a size 6/8 to what I would consider a 0/2. A bustle was also added
