The Dress

BHLDN CLAREMORE WEDDING DRESS
Ivory white, with blush undertones.

A high neckline and strappy open back lend a modern edge to this gown’s romantic sweetheart bodice under lace. Below, a voluminous tulle skirt creates airy movement. BLDN Wtoo by Watters (Anthropologie's Wedding Dress Line). Fitted at the bust and waist, loose at the hip. Back zip.

I adore this dress, and I'm sure you will too! It's flattering, comfortable, romantic, and so fun to wear! The bodice is snug and stays in place. The skirt is flowy and twirls. You will feel like a princess! As you can see from the pictures, my venue was rustic, so I trimmed off the train. No tripping. No bustling. No fuss. Easy, breezy!

The dress is hemmed to my size: 5'2" (plus 4inch heels), 115 pounds, size C cup bra. I bought this dress in 2019 as a size 4, then had it tailored down a size. When the pandemic hit, I postponed my wedding from May 2020 to October 2021, and I had plenty of time to exercise.

The dress has been worn once, and has not been dry cleaned since. The hem is dusty from the being outdoors at a horse ranch, so I suggest you get it cleaned. But there are no stains to worry about.

The lace is not itchy.

Alterations

The tailor did a fantastic job. She brought the dress down from size 4 to size a somewhere between 2 & 0. Added a jeweled sash as a belt. Hemmed to my height, and removed the train.
