The Dress

Description from Maggie Sottero website: Opal Organza is captivating in color for the blushing bride, or timeless in white or ivory for a more traditional dress. An assymetrically ruched bodice hugs tight to the figure, providing a slim fit through the hips before releasing into a breathtaking, layered skirt. Finished with a sweetheart neckline, corset closure and stunning beaded belt featuring Swarovski crystals.

I loved the elegance of this dress with its sweetheart neckline and sparkling beading juxtaposed against the soft layers of organza that tumbled down like a soft white waterfall. It was a medium weight (even with all the layers) and I was able to walk confidently and dance at the reception in 3.5 inch heels. The corset back can be adjusted for size 0 - 2.

The gown and veil were professionally dry cleaned and preserved by the Wedding Gown Preservation Co., which has been in business since 1913, immediately following my wedding. It comes with a 100-year gurantee to be maintain the gown's integrity while it is sealed in the box (it is sealed so I was not able to take video of the gown). Please see the last photo. The beautifully beaded veil will be included with this stunning wedding gown.

I would love to answer any questions you have about this breathtaking gown. Wishing you all the best on the happiest day of your life.

Alterations

The gown was altered for my height (I'm 5'5", ~115 lbs, and wore 3.5 inch heels). Bustling was also added throughout the bodice to be able to have the train at full length during the ceremony and photos and be able to shorten it for the reception and dancing!). A $400 value.
