About the Dress

This dreamy, iconic dress is ready for it's next owner. Originally purchased and alterations done at L'elite Bridal in Boston.

Lots of VERY high quality alterations were done by the experts at L'elite:
- I had the sleeves made removable (with clasps) because I wasn't sure if I wanted them, but ended up wearing them for the ceremony - best of both worlds!
- I had the neck line and back lowered to reduce the amount of fabric around my neck/face, which give it a feminine and sexy touch.
- I had one of the skirt under layers removed to give it a more airy feel in the sunlight and reduce the weight a bit, but kept the original train length.
- Added bra cups (that can be easily removed).
- Custom asymmetrical bustle design.
- Hemmed to accommodate 5'6" height with 4" heels.

The label is a Size 8, but it was taken in to fit a streetwear size is a 4-6. They added a way to tighten it from the inside (a button & strap on the inside) so it could be tightened without being taken in anymore. So there is extra fabric in case your measurements are a bit bigger than mine.

I also purchased my veil from L'elite in a matching color (the dress isn't bright white, more like an ivory). Can include if interested.
