The Dress

This classic dreamy ball gown will make you feel like a princess on your wedding day. I tried on so many dresses and this was the one for me, it made me feel so beautiful and I love that it hid my hips because I am self-conscious about how large my hips are.

My favorite thing about the dress is the beading applique embellishments throughout the bodice and skirt, I felt it added subtle magnificence (see the video).

The wedding dress was worn once, on my wedding day. I got it dry cleaned and preserved into a box soon after the wedding. Wedding dress was stored in box in closet in my house for the last 8 years (not in the garage). For the first time since it was boxed, I unboxed the dress and posted the video here on StillWhite. Please watch the video! Finally after 8 years of holding onto the dress, I am ready to let it go and make another bride's wedding day.

Price is negotiable, I am also happy to answer any questions you may have.

Alterations

A lace neckline was hand sewn in that circles completely around to the back of the dress, this can be removed entirely.
It was altered to be more fitted on the bust, I wear a 34C.
I also had a bustle added
