The Dress

Gala by Galia Lahav G-520 corset style dress.

I LOVED wearing this dress to my August, 2022 wedding: the ballgown felt traditional and princessy, but the corset felt modern and fashionable. It was perfectly flattering and comfortable. I added a slit on the left leg to mimic the slits that I'd seen in other Galia Lahav dresse.

I had an extra layer of organza added to the skirt to prevent it being see through, added cups to fill out my small cup (these can easily be removed so you can add a different size/style to fit you), and added extra lace detail (lace purchased from Galia Lahav)

Note: the designer dress size is 42 (the designer is Israeli. There was no option to list it at this, but it's equivalent to a size 4).

Alterations

The dress is made with see-through cups. I added nude, padded cups (they were quite generous lol). These can easily be removed/replaced with a cup that fits you.

I also had a layer of organza added to the skirt to prevent it being see-through. More lace detail added to the bodice and the skirt (lace made by Galia Lahav). I also added a slit to the left side.

It was tailored to fit me with heels. I am 5'2" and wore 4" heels (so would fit someone 5'6" in bare feet).
