The Dress

This dress is Dove Satin and is extremely soft fabric. Never warn, only for try on and alterations. There was no final fitting so the pictures that show me wearing it is before the final alterations were finalized. The dress has a "seat belt" inside which really supports the dress and you do not feel like you are going to fall out of it, extremely supportive and comfortable. IT HAS POCKETS!!! Website listing description: The simplicity of this off-the-shoulder gown from Essense of Australia is what makes it so glamorous and gorgeous, perfect for the classic bride. A plunging sweetheart neckline, reminiscent of an old-Hollywood style, extends effortlessly into off-the-shoulder sleeves creating a look that highlights your face beautifully. From the bodice, this structured Mikado gown extends through the hips, before flaring out into a full skirt just below the hips. Visible curved seaming highlights the gown, creating an enviable hourglass shape. A slight V adorns the back of this gown and is accented with buttons that run the length of the skirt and train. The back of this simple wedding dress zips up beneath fabric-covered buttons.
