The Dress

Brand new Mia Solana lace wedding dress. Purchased at LUV bridal in San Diego in May 2021. Size 18. Tags still attached and no alterations made.

The detail is beautiful…lace overlay with beading and floral detail on the bodice. The train is just enough to flow down but not overwhelming. The corset back is nice satin and is absolutely beautiful when done up.

Dress was brand new in store (literally taken out of sealed shipping box) and tried on once in store. Has remained in garment bag hangin in wardrobe since purchase. Wedding has been cancelled due to COVID international travel restrictions (I’m American, he’s British, and we had to elope instead!).

I’m 5’9” and usually wear a size 10 (with some fluctuation up and down) and it fit really well both at the weight when I tried on the dress and after dropping 12 pounds. It is lace up corset style so it adjusts to sizing without much need for alteration. Built in bra (I’m 38DD and was well supported). There are detachable lace drape sleeves (see first picture) which snap on and off depending on how you want to wear it (my plan was to use them for the ceremony and then remove them for the reception).
