The Dress

I felt amazing in this dress the entire day and night. As someone who struggles with the belly area and a larger bust (36-DD), I was very hesitant about dress shopping/buying. But as soon as this dress was zipped up, I knew it was the one, it fit like a glove! It was very complimentary to the belly and covered the girls while also highlighting them tastefully and the built in cups were perfect. It is both elegant and sexy and everything I wanted in my wedding dress.

The dress has a built-in "waist-stay" which was phenomenal and worked perfect to keep the dress in place and did not have me pulling it up to keep my chest covered constantly like most other strapless dresses. I got married in June and it was very hot but this dress was incredibly light and breezy and overall, very comfortable. I could move easily, sit, and dance with no problem! The color is ivory/moscato and comes with the matching veil. It zips up but has pretty decorative buttons that loop across the zipper which you can see in the picture showing the bustle.

I did not have to have any alterations to the top at all.

Alterations

Dress was hemmed with belt and bustle added. I am 5'7/5'8 and wore two/three-inch heels. The belt added is rose gold and the seamstress sewed it so that it moves with the dress but does not need adjusting. However, this could be removed if the buyer wanted. It is not detachable but was sewn on with the possibility of being removed. The bustle is a single loop that hooks onto the last button and that button was reinforced by the seamstress and I had no issues the day of.
