The Dress

From the designer:
The Eliza Dress is a minimalist gown in silk gazaar with an organza overlay, including a wide V-neckline and petaled off-shoulder sleeve. Supportive boned bodice with V-Back. Clean A line skirt with side slit and train.

I felt like a dream in this dress. It was exactly what I wanted: classic, elegant, and sexy. You will float down the aisle like a queen. I love my dress so much, but I don't want it to sit in a closet, so I've decided to sell it. I also bought my welcome dinner dress off of Stillwhite and had a great experience, I want to make someone as happy as I was getting an amazing dress.

I had this dress professionally dry cleaned in NYC. The dress looks like new except for a water spot near the bustle and a water spot on the train. I show these clearly in the video. The string for the bustle also came loose and needs to be re-looped.

Measurements
I am 5'5" and wore 2.5" heels
Bust 36.5"
Waist 28"
Hips 39"

I have an hourglass/pear shape and the hips measurement doesn't matter for this dress as a very flowy A line. The bodice can be brought in or slightly let out. A factor to consider is my height against yours and what shoe type you would like to wear.

Feel of the dress: The dress feels lightweight and structured. I had one friend come up to me on the dancefloor and ask how the dress was staying up because they were impressed! The bodice really made me feel secure. The skirt of the dress is long and gives a regal feeling. I did not feel overheated in my dress at all (despite dancing is up in 82-degree Fahrenheit temps).

I had my dress professionally dry cleaned in NYC. I will ship the dress to you in the dry cleaner box I received from Wedding Dress Preservation Co. (cleaning wedding dresses in NYC for over a hundred years). I recommend steaming the dress before wear to give the full effect!

Alterations

Altered to my height with heels. Off the shoulder sleeves brought in slightly and boning adjusted in bodice to provide more support.
