The Dress

COLLECTION NO. X, Style G-507, Gala by Galia Lahav Dress
https://www.galialahav.com/glam/introducing-our-new-gala-x-collection/
"An ethereal update to a classic mermaid silhouette, this fitted gown features a free-spirited feather motif hand-embroidered lace with a plunging V neckline, low back, and optional sheer overskirt that attaches at the natural waist. Opt for a classic plain veil for a glamorous, yet bohemian look that still feels effortless."

This dress was super glamorous while also being chic and classic. THE DETAIL is everything. Up close the embellishment is done with such a gorgeous pattern. It is a style that isn't being reproduced by Galia Lahav so it could only have been purchased by so many people. The dress has a gorgeous overskirt that does have a sparkling element to it which is stunning in the light, the skirt also essentially makes it two dresses in one! It has a body suit, and could be viewed as 'sheer' but when on you can't see anything just the silhouette/outline of your body which was subtly sexy. The skirt of the dress does lean mermaid but I had zero issues walking. The skirt is cathedral length and adds a dramatic element.

I surprised my groom, I wore the dress without the skirt for the first round of photos, then added the skirt to walk down the aisle and for the reception hour. It came off for dinner and our first dance!

The dress was everything and more I could have ever dreamed of - it made me feel beautiful, and with the body suit, I felt like it hugged me in all the right places, highlighting all the right angles. I received so many wonderful compliments and many people said it was the most beautiful dress they'd seen.

Overall the condition is in great condition - it does have some light wear around the hem as it is embellished so some sequins/embellishment is missing but it isn't noticeable to the eye, I wore the dress for about 4 hours before I changed into my reception dress.

Alterations

The dress has the slightest alterations to the bust so there wasn't extra fabric bunched up at the waistline.
