The Dress

I absolutely fell in love with this Pronovias Aethra gown the first time I tried it on! The dress is a breathtaking mermaid gown that comes to life in glittering, three-dimensional flowers that crystalize along the plunging neckline, gather at the waist, and cascade down a skirt delicately dotted with streams of threaded embroidery.

This Aethra (lined) Pronovias dress is a bridal size US 6 and was purchased brand new from Bridal Breeze in San Francisco, USA. It has been worn only once.

Aethra is a once-in-a-lifetime gown and it will not disappoint you. I loved every second that I got to wear it. The gown has been professionally dry-cleaned and is ready for you to love it.

Alterations

- Length altered to my height (5’4” and wore 3 inch heels)
- Waist was cinched slightly to fit my shape, but with room to reduce and there’s plenty of stretch in the dress.
- A multiple point bustle was added

I kept the hip to foot angle of the dress fairly straight, so there is lots of room to take it in if you want a more mermaid/tighter shape.

Note: There are 2 different versions of this dress (a lined and unlined bodice). The version I have is fully lined, but you could remove the lining if you wanted a more sheer bodice.
