The Dress

Bold, sexy, and beautiful! This dress shows off your curves with a deep V front, backless sheer lace, gorgeous swirling lace work, which pools into a flowing train which is chapel length (I think? See images).

For my fall wedding, I bought this dress off the rack in a much larger size (I think 26? 22?) and then tailored it to fit me and added long sleeves which match the original lace super closely - so well you might think it was designed that way. It also has a french bustle for the reception.

The dress itself has several layers: a top layer of swirling lace work that's see through; under that, another textured lace in white for the bottom half; then layers of white under that.

Damage should be minimal to none. I did wear sharp heels and may have stepped on the train at some point.

Alterations

Added sleeves and pulled into more of a size 16-18 from the label size (which was significantly larger). The alterations were super significant cost about 1900.
