The Dress

This dress is amazing — elegant, comfortable, chic and never worn (other than trying it on for a few minutes). I held onto it thinking I'd have a wedding eventually (mine was canceled in 2020...), but it's time to let it go. Size 14 fit me absolutely perfectly at 5'10" and 180lbs, size 38E chest (though I think if I had a smaller chest it would've fit a bit better - this is also according to their sizing chart). See pics of me in-store trying on their size 14 sample. It already has bust cups already built-in!

This dress made me look and feel like a knockout and I bet this style is great on most body types. It's a very soft, white-ivory (not yellow ivory at all).

The dress is still in the BHLDN garment bag I received it in--no alterations have been made. The bow can be removed, which shows off the back and the lovely button details on the train (see pics).

More about the dress on BHLDN's website here: https://www.bhldn.com/products/shipley-gown It was $995 before taxes, etc. When trying it on, one of the tops of a covered back button popped off. I have the button top and it's a simple fix. The eye of the hook and eye is loose. Happy to throw in the $50 rhinestone belt pictured with the dress (makes it really pop imho).
