About the Dress

NWT – Purchased new from BHLDN.
The model is 5'7" (wearing 2-inch heels) and typically wears a size 4. According to the designer, the dress measurements are Bust 41", Waist 33", and Hips 43.5". (My measurements are smaller. I typically wear a size 6 in normal clothes but purchased a 14 so I could custom tailor it to my body.

I originally bought this stunning gown for my destination wedding, but the venue changed, and I went with another, more understated gown. This dress has NOT been altered.
