The Dress

This is a beautiful mermaid/trumpet dress with ethereal layers of organza at the bottom, and beaded lacework overlaying the bodice portion. Asymmetric neckline which is mirrored/mimicked in the section where the mermaid portion flares out from the hips. This dress was only worn once on the wedding day and was not torn, ripped, or damaged in any way. All it needed at the end of the day was a good dry cleaning from all the waking around, which was done promptly after. You might have noticed that removable pleated organza sleeves were an addition to the dress, so that I could be modestly covered during the ceremony and then easily take them off after the ceremony (they attach with Velcro). You cannot tell they are an addition when they are on, nor can you tell there were any sleeve additions done to the dress when it is worn as it was bought; the seamstress did a job very well done. If anyone is interested in buying the sleeves with the dress, they most certainly can be included for free. I did have the waist and hips taken in a bit for me, so though the label is 8 it is more like a size 6. I was very sad I had to take this dress off at the end of the day, it just was that beautiful to be in!
