The Dress

Lovely dress, contemporary style with lace and beading overlays. Deep V front with sheer netting holding everything together (see closeup). Was mine for a beach wedding. Only worn for ceremony, pictures, ‘dances,’ changed to a different dress for the reception. Not a single spot on it.

It’s floor length to my 5’5” height, since we were married on the beach I didn’t wear shoes. The last picture shows the exact measurements of the dress, it was made to order so the only alterations were to add a french waterfall bustle which was done at a bridal tailor in town. The bustle is ribbons, not clips, and all are in tact.

The dress is not at all see through. I didn’t wear a bra (as you can tell) there are cups sewn in, you could use boob tape if you are better endowed than i am. I didn’t wear a slip, you can’t wear any high waisted shape wear though - it would be seen in the back.

After the wedding it was professionally preserved with the veil (see picture). This includes the veil - its cathedral length but light as air, I wanted those beautiful pictures of the veil in the wind at the beach. The picture where the veil is aloft, that was the wind, no one was holding it. The veil has a few snags from taking photos in nature, but nothing you’d notice without looking carefully. I loved this veil and this dress and it begs to be worn down the aisle again!

Alterations

French bustle - ribbons not clips or hooks (harder to break when invariably stepped on)
