The Dress

The description of my stunning wedding dress on the Milla Nova website is as follows, “Statement fully crystal beaded royal ball gown with a long-sleeved turtleneck semi-transparent bodice, fully sequined skirt, and extremely long train.”

The description above does not even begin to describe the beauty that is my Helen gown. I felt like royalty as I walked down the aisle, and I still swoon when I think about it.

I purchased my dress from Viero Bridal in Chicago, and I wore it at our stunning venue in Livingstone, Zambia. Please note that it was laundered in Zambia after the wedding, but there is a slightly visible make-up stain on the neckline, and inside the skirt (this is not noticeable) I attempted to have it laundered in the United States, but the dry cleaner I took it to was apprehensive due to the detail. It has so many crystals (totally stunning!), and it requires an experienced dry cleaner.

Kindly ensure that you are 100% sure about your measurements. I am a size US 8 or 10 street size (regular clothing / usual size.)

I love this dress with all my heart, and I am sure you will too. I am willing to discount her.
