The Dress

This is a beautiful Pronovias Gracie ballgown I purchased from Wedding Atelier in New York City as my second wedding dress. I originally had a mermaid dress, but I got pregnant and was going to be 7-month pregnant at my wedding. So that led to my hunt for a ballgown instead. This dress was absolutely perfect. I've tried many different ballgowns and this was the only one where the design of the lace and sparkles was that it smooths about the transition from my chest to my bump to the rest of the dress below. People couldn't tell I was even pregnant from the front or back. The detail of the lace is just what I wanted - elegant and sophisticated. I had an outdoor ceremony and when I was walking down the aisle, the sun hit my dress and so many people commented on how the dress came even more alive. Another thing I liked about the dress was that it wasn't heavy either. I felt like a princess overall!

Alterations

I am usually size 0-2 but to accommodate my bump, I got a bigger size dress (EU 42) and the alterations were done on the chest (to make it a little tighter) and the height (a little shorter) only.
