The Dress

Hayley Paige Remington Wedding Gown in Ivory

This dress is absolutely stunning! I got so many compliments and it was perfect for warm weather. It was so comfortable and chic. The illusion bodice and neckline with open back is dainty, elegant, exquisite. Accentuates all the right things, the Hayley Paige designer intimately knows a woman’s body. Nude mesh illusion neckline and long mesh sleeves with rhinestones and sequin ivory and champagne flowers.

Dress is a Size Bridal 18. I’m a street size 12. Dimensions —
Bust: 42”
Waist: 34”
Hips: 44” (my hips are much larger and it’s A-line and full skirt so hip size isn’t as important). This is a great dress for ‘curvy’ women. :)
Hips to Hallow in the very front: approx 40” and tapers to the back (the hem for the train was unaltered). Honestly, if your alterations team is amazing, they can lengthen any dress by adding a new front skirt and tapering with existing train.

Alterations

The dress has been altered in minor ways that can be undone/let out simply by removing quick whip stitches (except for front hem) and has been fully dry cleaned. Yes, she is super clean!

Alterations are as follows:
1. The back sides have tiny darts sewn in to bring shoulders up and can be let back out by removing stitches.
2. Sleeves at the wrist were folded, hem can be let back out.
3. Interior bust has a dart sewn in on each side and can be let out.
4. A gorgeous rhinestone belt was added.
5. A bustle was created and tiny hooks were placed under belt on the back and tiny loops sewn into back of dress.
6. I am 5”2 and I wore 3” heels so dress hemmed and tulle cut, the only permanent change to the dress.

It has tiny repairable tears in the top layer of tulle at the feet from wear that can easily be sewn by your alterations. I can’t even see them (there’s approx 4 tiny spots) unless I’m at eye level and inspecting the bottom of the tulle.

Wish we could attach way more photos!
