The Dress

This gorgous gown is part of The Pollardi Group by Ida Torez. (Proud to say it was made in Ukraine).
**Please watch the video to see how much it sparkles!!!
I fell in love with this dress because it made me feel like a glamorous woman, rich with sparkles, handbeaded, and a flattering bust. It's very lightweight and not heavy like others I've tried on. When I tried it on at the dress shop, it was clipped on me as though it was an A-line dress. When the dress arrived, I realized it's trumpet/mermaid/fit & flair, so I decided to find a different dress because I wanted an A-line. The video is of the dress clipped on.
The color is white & ivory. It's fit for 5'5" without shoes but it can be lengthened (described below).
I made a few alterations: I added a bustle, shortened the dress, let it out about 3/4" in the waist/hips, and lowered the back. Because the top layer has a scalloped edge, she creased it along the bottom rather than cut the fabric. So if you'd like it longer, you can uncrease it. By releasing it, you'll get another 5" in the front of the dress.

"A minimalistic dress with a bare back and an extraordinary bodice. This style will help to focus on the natural beauty of the female body, to emphasize all the shapes and curves of the figure. A fitted silhouette is the best choice for slender girls. The elongated train will help to visually stretch the figure, add height, that’s why the dress is suitable for both tall and short brides. The upper part is decorated with the handmade embroidery, there is a patterned neckline and a transparent fabric as the base of the bustier in front. Due to the simple decor, various wedding accessories and jewelry may suit this dress."
