The Dress

Justin Alexander #8596 (google it for pics of it on a model) Absolutely gorgeous dress. Has a sheer venice lace sabrina neckline which accents the sweetheart neckline with a pleated regal oyster satin cummerbund at the waist, textured lace trumpet skirt, and a chapel length train. The back has buttons over a back zipper (the buttons were really easy).
The dress was very comfortable for the duration of my wedding and reception.

*The back of the dress is not at all beige/brown as is perceived in the up close picture, it it ivory and alabaster.

I wouldn't sell it, but I want a puppy and love the idea of someone else wearing it for their "best day ever"

A few professional alterations were done including:
American "outer" bustle- one hook was put in, very easy to make the dress ready to travel/dance!
Size A cups sewn in, could be removed if needed.
Hemmed slightly so it hit the floor right. (I was 5' 8" in my shoes)
Some of the sheer fabric at the top was brought in, so that it did not bunch up on my chest. Cannot tell that it had been done.
