The Dress

Hi fellow covid brides! This is a beautiful lace dress. It felt romantic and classic but also something that I felt like myself in. Here it is in the original Spring 2018 collection: https://lookbook.carolinaherrera.com/collection/bridal-spring-2018/

I bought this dress new. I wore it for our wedding and did a professional bridal gown dry clean. You'd never know it had been worn, the dress is in perfect condition.

You could wear this in any season. I bought it for the spring and ended up wearing it this summer. Hererra also styles it with a velvet sash bow which would look incredible for fall or winter. Here's one of those looks: http://lookbook.carolinaherrera.com/look-9-27/

I had such a great time wearing this dress and I'd love for someone else to get to do the same!

The dress was also in a Vogue wedding feature if you'd like to see those (she bustled the lace): https://www.vogue.com/article/a-wedding-weekend-under-the-palm-trees-and-stars-at-the-lyford-cay-club

Alterations

We sized the bodice down to a 6 and added bra cups, shortened the hem, and brought it in a smidge below the rear to create some form. We also bustled the layers underneath the lace (with a hook and eye), and created a finger hold for the lace. *You can see the finger hold in the last photo*. Since we didn't have a ton of dancing I didn't feel like I needed the full bustle, but the train is long without it. I'm 5'7 and a very true size 6. My heels were low, a little under two inches. feel free to ask for more fit details.
