A whimsical, STUNNING, unique, and incredibly comfortable gown! It was perfect for my special day in November '22, and I hope it makes another bride's dreams come true! The dress received countless compliments and was perfect for our beach-adjacent nuptials. I wore this dress for my ceremony and pictures ONLY (changed into a short dress for the reception due to climate) so there is very minimal wear.

Purchase of this dress includes additional applique and detached fabric from Neta Dover, if you want to include any on a veil or any other piece of the dress.

The original cost of the dress was $5,701.69 + $600 for the bustle and additional breast applique. (I am happy to provide receipt of purchase and documentation from Love Couture Boutique in Potomac, MD.)

Alterations

The original dress, as seen in the professional photograph links, was nearly entirely sheer on the breast. I included additional applique provided by the designer, Neta Dover, to have full, comfortable coverage without any nipple covers or other adhesives.

The dress has a delicate 5-point American bustle already created. This is concealed intricately in the fabric making the transition from the train to bustle seamless and beautiful.
