The Dress

Our wedding was the best day of my life and I'm excited to pass along the great luck from this dress! It made me feel so confident and beautiful, and I received tons of compliments. The crepe cutouts on the sides really flatter your silhouette with still providing coverage from the lace.

Material: Lace on soft crepe with tulle on the bottom and scalloped train

There are two tiny holes in the tulle on the back train - both less than the size of my pinky nail and not noticeable due to the crepe underneath. Happy to send photos. Dress is in excellent condition, and has been professionally dry cleaned by the cleaner recommended by the bridal boutique I purchased from (Novella Bridal in San Francisco).

A formal, sophisticated take on sexy style, Style D3263 from Essense of Australia is truly stunning. A completely matte yet textured style, this gown evolves the fit-and-flare silhouette into the future of fashion. Special stitching really highlights the overall patterns, while contour seaming and thoughtfully placed laces structure and flatter the shape–maintaining the formality and chic simplicity of the style. The laces then pop over the deeply angled side cutouts to enhance your hourglass shape. The low open back pulls the look together with a thin multi-strap feature, sheer paneling and a layered train with scalloped edging and artful lace finishes.

Alterations

This dress has a label size 10 however it was altered to mimic a label size 8 with just very slightly wider thighs - I am a street size 4 due to my runner thighs. It does also include a bustle. It was custom made length wise (not altered) for 5'9" (I am almost 5'8" and wore kitten heels)
