The 'Diana' gown by Netta Benshabu is an absolutely show stopping dress - it made me look and feel like a supermodel and I would love for another bride to enjoy it on her wedding day as much as I did. I purchased it new at the Kinsley Couture bridal salon in Walnut Creek, CA and customized it to include another layer of semi-sheer lining from the waist down (this kept the ethereal vibe intact relative to adding an opaque lining but made it so it was no longer fully see-through). The dress was then altered down to my measurements by Tailor Maid in San Francisco and I had them detach and take in the sleeves to allow for two separate looks. I also had them add a bustle. Please note the tag reads bridal size 8 but this dress was altered to a street size 0/XS.

I only wore the gown for a few hours for pictures and the ceremony and then changed into a mini dress for the reception after my first dance. I have not had the dress dry cleaned because I don't really think it needs it - it is in near perfect condition and I would rather not mess with it. There are some very slight makeup stains on the inside top of the corset from the chest glow my makeup artist applied and otherwise some minor blemishes on the lining from right before my dress was bustled during cocktail hour. The lace and exterior of the gown are flawless.

Including alterations, I paid approximately $11,000 for this gown. Happy to answer any questions you may have! For reference, I am 110 lbs, 5'3 without heels (I wore 4 inch heels with the gown), and a 30/32C cup.
