The Dress

Varca Bridal's "Vivienne" dress in Pearl colorway with removable drape sleeves. Subtle hip pads add volume to skirt. Sheer corset back, floral motif on top front and top half of skirt, and sheer organza bottom half of skirt for a "surprising pop of leg". Cathedral length train (from waist to the end measures at about 85 inches). Worn with 4.5inch heels (I'm about 5'5). 8-point ballroom style bustle added.

One of those rare kinds of dresses that feels both extremely high-fashion while also being comfortable and wearable. I wore this for my tropical wedding in the Dominican Republic and did not once feel too hot-- the lightweight organza fabric makes dancing a breeze. It's a real statement piece while still feeling classic and bridal. Happy to share more photos/videos of dress during the wedding and more photos/videos sent by the cleaners.

Expertly cleaned and packaged with sleeves. Minor wear.

Alterations

8-point ballroom-style bustle added, plus alterations in bodice, bust and sleeves (my bicep circumference is 10.5")
