The Dress

Very comfortable to wear for an entire evening. The fabric is very smooth to wear and it fit very well. It has a built in bra and tons of support and boning to keep this fitting like a glove all day and night. It zips up in the back and the zipper is hidden within all of the beadwork in the back. There is a thin but absolutely beautiful beadwork sewn into the waistline to add just the right amount elegance without being too distracting. It is an off white/ivory/satin color which I thought photographed better than some of the bright white dresses I've seen.

I had a late fall/early winter wedding so I threw a pair of comfy black leggings under my dress to keep me warm and you could not see them at all. The fabric is heavy and durable so it won't get caught easily on old wooden floors if you are having a barn wedding.

I sewed a cape together to drape over my shoulders instead of doing a veil. I highly recommend the cape option since you can nicely drape it in the back to show off the beautiful beadwork. This dress also has a train in the back which you can bustle up after the ceremony.

Alterations

I am 5' 2" and wore 3" heels to my wedding so this dress is hemmed to fit another short bride like myself or someone taller looking to wear flats. It also has a small hidden clip to bustle the train. If you're measurements are at all close to the ones listed above you won't need to do any further alterations on this dress.
