The Dress
This absolutely gorgeous, art deco inspired wedding dress from True Bride in Ireland can be yours! It is still in wonderful, wedding-worthy condition and has been cleaned and made ready for it's next appearance on you.
It's debut appearance was at a 1920s and 30s vintage-themed wedding where everyone dressed up in romantic attire from that period for an elegant evening that took everyone back in time. The beauty of the dress, and the evening, did not disappoint!
This wedding dress has a beautiful but modestly-sized train that trails behind you by a few feet, at least, giving you that gorgeous look you'd want when walking down the isle, but without requiring 2 to 3 handmaidens to carry it, constantly fix it, or place it for you. After your ceremony this dress will allow you to dance the night away! The train on this dress has an exquisite French bustle system sewn in underneath that will tuck your train up into a bustle shape (practice this in advance with your Maid of Honor to make sure to get the look you want since there are a few ways this one can be done).
Here's a you-tube tutorial video that shows you how a French bustle works.

I was a US size 8 at my wedding but didn't see the need to get the dress altered down to my waistline so it was a bit baggy on my hips and the small of my back at my wedding. My chest was a 34 and the dress is a 36. I made do just fine with a little padding and lift in my shaper. The fabric has a bit of stretch to it, so the sizing on this dress doesn't have to be done accurately. I have pictures of all the measurements of the dress lying flat, so just message me if you would like me to send them to you. To figure out if you'll fit in the dress, divide your (circumference) measurements in half and then see if my dress's lying flat measurements match yours.
I am 5'8" tall and I wore 2 inch heels with the dress. This brought the front of the dress off the floor just enough to dazzle my guests with the toes of my glittery gold heels. It was perfect for what I wanted.
Alterations:
True Bride dresses are made to be easily altered, the waistline and hemline of this dress have never been altered. We did have the dress's sleeve openings made larger to fit my broad shoulders and slightly larger triceps and lats than other size 8 women. Are the tops of sleeves usually tight on you too? This alteration will help you immensely. We also removed the boning from the chest area since it created a boob cage that did not look natural, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.
Minor Damage -
Near the very bottom of the dress there are several very tiny holes, they are in the sheer tulle only. A few of the holes are from walking through a doorway with unfortunate dress-snagging splinters, and a few of them are the tiniest burn holes from exiting through a tunnel of sparklers for our grand exit. All of these holes are all but invisible unless you *really* look for them. You do have to look hard to find them. I knew they were there and was finally able to see them after I hung the dress up high, then kneeled down and sorted through the sheer tulle for a few minutes, then I was able to find them all. These holes do not show up when you are wearing the dress and not a soul would know about them if you never mention it! Mums the word.

"#6 Almond" stretch satin dress (ever so slightly pink)
