The Dress

I LOVED wearing this dress. I felt classy and sexy and bridal. I had the buttons down the train added for $100 and had $200 extra in alterations (length and waist plus bustle added- see dancing photo ). My wedding was outdoors but the reception was on pavers. I wore 1.5” heels the whole time. The weather was mild so I was not sweaty either. The train did get dirty but I hand washed it and now it looks clean! However, while cleaning the train, the buttons became discolored. I’ve tried to remedy it, but haven’t been successful (see pictures for current state). I would imagine you could get the discolored buttons replaced inexpensively.
I am 5’5” but wore 1.5” heels. I’m a full B cup. In the store, I was sized for a 4, but opted for a 2 to cut down on alterations. The material of this dress is stretchy and I had room to move too! The belt is not sewn in but is included. The veil (the pearls really elevated the look!) is also included in the price. If you do not want one or both of them, the price can be reduced for you, (-$20 belt, -$20 veil).

Alterations

The length was shortened and it was slightly altered to fit me in the chest
