The Dress

This dress is the perfect mix of elegant and sexy--classic lace with a modern fit. It is a complete show-stopper! I cannot tell you the amazing compliments I received all night. I know...everyone compliments the bride, but really--I heard over and over again that this dress was their FAVORITE wedding dress they had ever seen. It really is stunning in person. The detail of the lace is gorgeous, without being overpowering. Hidden within the lace are tiny crystals that catch the light. The train is stunning in photos and as you walk down the aisle, and the dress has a great bustle to pull it up when it's time to hit the dance floor. Despite looking so structured and tailored, this dress is amazingly comfortable. It has a stretch to the fabric, which makes for a great drapey fit. It allows you to sit, eat, and dance the night away. The dress hugs your curves while still being very forgiving. And I have to say, the ruching and fit makes your back side look fabulous! This dress (and our wedding) were featured in a 5 page spread in Sonoma Magazine--see the attached photo.

This dress was originally purchased from Bridal Galleria, in San Francisco. It is still being sold today, retailing for $11,000. I highly suggest visiting a local bridal boutique that carries this dress, so that you can try it on in person before purchasing from me. I am sure you will fall in love with it, just as I did! If you happen to live anywhere near the San Francisco Bay Area, I'm glad to meet with you so that you can try the actual dress on.

That being said, this dress has a LOT of stretch to it. So if your measurements are a bit different, it should still fit flawlessly with very minimal (or no) alterations. It has nude cups sewn into the dress, so there is no need to wear a bra. The dress has hidden pockets in the front lace. I chose to have them stitched down (just a few stitches per pocket) to make sure the lace sat flat, but the stitches can easily be removed, if you would like.

The dress has been professionally cleaned and near perfect condition. No stains, no damage, no discoloration. If you would like it, I will include a veil (cathedral, 1 tier)--I didn't end up wearing it, as I decided to go less formal, but it is beautiful with the dress.

This dress made me feel AMAZING during the most perfect day ever. I hope this dress gives another bride the chance to experience that same feeling!
