The Dress

After trying on a dozen dresses at different bridal stores, I felt excitedly that this was the right dress for me. As a slightly older bride (but several years younger than in these current photos!) I wanted something sexy but slightly more modest in the front. I fell in love with this lace halter-style bodice and broad, princess-like skirt. I have never seen another dress with this bodice style. It was easy to move in and very comfortable. It has a long train but bustles beautifully for dancing after the ceremony. I wore it once. It has maintained its beautiful pure white color and the lace is perfect. There are two small tears in the chiffon, one near the bustle. You have to look hard to find them and they are easily repairable. The dress is in near-perfect condition. I was about 120 pounds when I wore it and it fit perfectly. I did not have it cleaned professionally but the only evidence of smudging is on the inner skirt and a bit on the inside of the halter neckpiece. All visible parts of the dress are very clean.
