The Dress

Plus-size Style D3274 from Essense of Australia. As a mid-sized bride, I knew I wanted to feel flattered but still have a dress with volume to match my personality. With the fun layered details and the gorgeous neckline, it was classically beautiful with a modern twist that really stood out. This was a great dress to dance in as well. Professionally altered at a few key spots, with a small rhinestone belt tacked on for a little extra sparkle, now professionally cleaned. This gorgeous gown was the centerpiece of our perfect day. I hope it can be a part of yours, too!
From the designer: "The sheer bodice offers a decadent bouquet of organic lace florals, covering the sheer long sleeves with a tattoo-like effect while a floating off-the-shoulder neckline creates an extraordinary illusion with sheer tulle. The tiered skirt features gorgeous layers with horsehair trim, creating a light and voluminous style that’s full of movement. Shimmer elements and 3D appliqués gently cascade down this dramatic yet fresh silhouette, creating the perfect fashion-forward romance for a modern wedding day."
Worn with HoneyLove power shorts, no bra, and a cheap crinoline off Amazon. Accessorized with a plain cathedral-length tulle veil and an satin cape, both also cheap on Amazon. Happy to share links with the buyer. I've also included a video from the seamstress showing the bustle. Buyer may want to save that video for a reference day-of!

Alterations

Gentle fitting around the wrist, lift at the shoulder (as if shortening a bra strap).
