The Dress

This is the beautifully detailed Lennox dress from Tara Lauren's 2018 collection. I purchased it at Lovely Bride in Houston in 2019. The website describes it as "A soft A-line silhouette done in a lightly beaded textured lace adorned with laser cut organza florals, the Lennox is the perfect choice for the modern ultra feminine bride."

I love the 3D flower detailing, the fact that this dress has a bit of sparkle and personality but is still elegant and classic, the whimsical sheer back and the overall flattering cut of the dress. It came with a bit of padding sewn into the bra area, thick enough to be flattering and hide if you're nipping but still very thin (like a bathing suit top). I did have this altered a bit, taking the straps up and the waist in. I also had another layer of chiffon added to the cleavage panel for a bit more modesty.

ALSO: I'm willing to throw in the veil, fur shawl, and hair accessories for free if you're interested! They're all really beautiful. The veil was also purchased at Lovely Bride in Houston for $450 (it's the Toni Federici Avalon veil) and the fur shawl was purchased at Nordstrom for $118 (it's the Eliza J Faux Fur Capelet in ivory). I also have hair accessories that are very gorgeous, I bought them on Etsy for $40 Here's a pic since you can't see them in the dress pictures: https://imgur.com/a/vTtdneF. That's over $600 of free stuff when you add everything up!! Plus everything is in great condition. Please let me know if you want more close-up pictures of any of the accoutrements and I will happily provide :).

Alterations
