The Dress

Shopping for a wedding gown as a plus size bride was not easy, I made a 12 hour round trip to Minneapolis Minnesota to an exclusively plus size boutique to find my perfect dream gown! This dress is amazing and I have never received so many compliments in my life or felt so beautiful wearing it! It is so hard to part with it but my hope is that someone else can have a magical day in this dream dress at a lower price than I paid! I chose to wear the dress strapless but do have the lace off the shoulder button in straps, the dress converts easily ceremony to reception with a couple button snaps for the straps.

This dress was ordered hallow to hem measured and slightly altered in length after receiving it to accommodate my 5ft3in height, I wore flats and the gown perfectly hit. The gorgeous layers are not heavy, I wore the dress for my ceremony, danced the night away at our reception and even made it all the way through our party bus and bar hopping without so much as a bustle pop -- I had a multi point bustle added during alterations and man did they hold! Dress has also been professionally cleaned by a lace specialist and is ready for you on your big day!
