The Dress

I absolutely love my dress and would choose it again. The statement train made me feel like a bride! I felt confident, elegant, and sexy. I had a second dress to change into but never did! The dress was so comfortable and flattering; it is very well made and hugs you in all the right places to create a sexy hourglass silhouette. The dress is made of lace on luxe crepe. It is Ivory with Porcelain Tulle Plunge.

I was lucky enough to avoid food and beverage stains. The hem of the dress was dirty from dragging along the floor. I sent it to the wonderful Veribest Cleaners in San Diego and the dress came back in perfect condition. The dress has no sign of use, no tear, no stain, and is nicely pressed.

Here is the description from the designer: A radiant floral masterpiece, this wedding dress is a stunner at every angle. A sheer bodice graces the top of this gown with translucent side panels extending over the hips in a tapered formation, elongating the frame. A mix of organic florals, and bugle beads grow over the fabrics for a sheer, feminine allure and a hint of shimmer - falling over the waistline onto the luxe crepe fabric that gently hugs the curves. An organic neckline mirrors a low organic V-back, adjoined by a zipper enclosure topped with fabric-covered buttons that run the length of the fit-and-flare silhouette - all the way to the hem of the incredibly detailed, sheer scallop train featuring a myriad of floral appliques for a breathtaking bridal finish.

Alterations

The dress was altered at the hips to take the measurement from 39.5 in to 37 in. The straps were slightly shortened. The length (hem) is untouched (I'm 5'8" and wore 3 in heels). The bust area is untouched. A three pick-up point American bustle was added.
