The Dress

DESCRIPTION- This is a flamenco inspired ivory organza and alencon lace bridal gown, with a sheer elongated lace bodice, sweetheart neckline, layered organza and lace skirt, chapel train.

SIZE- This dress was custom made to my measurements. At the time they were: Bust- 33 3/4, Waist- 26 3/4, Hips- 35 3/4, Hollow to Hem- 57 with a 4 1/8 heel. I am 5'2 without heels.

ALTERATIONS- When the dress arrived, it was taken in very very slightly at the bust and waist. I had a french bustle added as well as ribbon loops on the inside in order to keep a strapless bra from showing. The french bustle tucks under and looks really elegant.

DRESS STORY- This dress was the first or second dress I tried on and I knew right away it was definitely the one. I had seen Lazaro Perez and his designs originally on TLC's Say Yes to the Dress. His dresses truly stand out! I felt like a princess and I hope this dress can bring that same joy to someone else now that my day is over.

I purchased this dress from the designer's flagship salon, JLM Couture in West Hollywood, California for my wedding in November 2014. Our wedding took place at the Hotel del Coronado, which gave us the best of both worlds, we had an outdoor ceremony overlooking the beach and the reception was in the ballroom.

CLEANING and PRESERVATION- The cost of cleaning and preserving is included in the price. Due to the dress having pleated organza in the skirt, commercial cleaning is not an option as it would release the pleats and permanently damage it. The dress has been professionally boxed, hand cleaned, and will come with white gloves for inspection purposes. It was important for me to do this so that the dress will be in pristine and perfect condition for it's next owner. Cost of cleaning is $895.

VEIL and SASH- These items are not included in the price of the dress, although I would be willing to sell the sash (also Lazaro) and the veil (custom made three tier cathedral length with ribbon edge) separately. These have also been professionally hand cleaned and only worn by me on my day. I am asking $450 OBO for the sash and $350 OBO for the veil.

Please message me with any questions.
