The Dress

THIS DRESS! I bought the BHLDN Odalis dress and had my seamstress remove the bulky fabric from the back to create true sleeves. I married a Brazilian and wanted to show off my curves. I've always been self conscious of my arms photographing big so I didn't want to worry about that all day long. I felt at ease knowing this dress effortlessly hit me in all the right places. It made me feel so beautiful - as you should on your day!

The dress has a very timeless & elegant lace detail without being too much (not your grandma's lace dress!) and was perfect for my Yosemite mountain wedding. The deep-v front added a touch of sass while keeping classy. It was a relatively warm day but I stayed cool and mobile with the lightweight fabric.

Dress was immediately dry-cleaned and looks good as new!

10/10 would recommend. I'm 5'9" and wore 1.5" heels.

Alterations

I customized the dress to remove the cape and created sleeves. I didn't alter the length or any of the rest of the dress. There's also a bustle to pull up the bottom during reception.
