The Dress

I purchased this Justin Alexander Sincerity sample dress in late November of 2022 from Sandals Bridals in Maryland for my wedding in April of 2023. This is a bridal size 18, street size 14-16.

Since the initial purchase, I lost more weight than anticipated which resulted in the dress no longer fitting as it once did. I had begun the alteration process, but was told that taking in the dress more than 2 sizes would ultimately compromise its integrity and structure. With that being said, the only alterations to the dress include a hemming and a french bustle (shown in photo #3 above).

The dress was not worn outside of the initial bridal consultation in photos 1 & 2, and the final alteration appointment in photo 3 & the video. It has been professionally steamed and remained in the protective bag and plastic in my closet.

If you would like more photos, videos, or information, please feel free to message me directly! Please note that the bridal belt is not included in this listing.

Alterations

The alterations include having the dress hemmed to a 4" heel. I am 5'3, and the dress now sits at a height of 5'7 and can further be hemmed if needed.

I also had a french bustle and new button loops added in addition to the hem.
