The Dress

Hi! I wore this dress for my wedding last year and I absolutely loved it! I've had my eyes set on this particular Martina Liana dress since I first saw it even after trying other dresses. I've listed all the alterations done on it below. I'm usually a street size 2-4.. nowadays probably closer to a 4. I have hips, hence why I had to get them let out a bit.

I had a 5 point bustle put in for after the ceremony so there are remnants of the bustle which alterations can fix up. I found one section of the train where there is a very small hole in the lace from the bustle. I circled where it is in one of the pictures so you can see in relation to the rest of the train. But you wouldn't be able to tell it's there when you're wearing it - I had to really search for it.

Feel free to message me with more questions!

Alterations

-Shortened straps and brought them closer to the middle in the back so they wouldn't fall off as easily
-Hip area was let out a bit, this can be taken back in
-Hemmed to total length to floor of 5'5" (I'm just under 5'3" and had 2.5" shoes)
-5-pt bustle was added, though one of the buttons is missing - alterations can easily take a button from the train to replace (that's what my alterations did to add it in the first place)
