The Dress

There is a thing called love-at-first-sight. Indeed, after browsing and trying on over 20 wedding gowns, I fell in love with Carmen 66e22 with simply a glance, like there is no one else. Why? This off-white, satin ball gown with delicate embroideries and beading work is just perfect for a castle wedding.

Unlike many A-line wedding dresses or ball gowns that make you pretty and princess-like, Carmen 66e22 from Oscar de la Renta places you above all, yes, in it, you are THE QUEEN! I could already imagine myself in it, queen like, at my wedding venue, Pena Palace, Sintra, Portugal. And it only exceeded my expectation -- I felt like the queen, touring the royal palace with my husband and our wedding guests.

What I love about this dress is its simple, classic yet artistic design. The sweetheart neckline shows off your neck and collar bone, sleeveless design is perfect for a summer wedding, but can be used with gloves or / and shawl to fit a cooler climate. Mid-back design guarantees the stability and comfort of a sleeveless sweetheart neckline and holds the weight of the dress effortlessly. What makes the dress royal is the added piece to the left waistline, running all the way back and down, naughty yet elegant, perfects the waistline and created the dramatic hour-glass shape. While in this dress, you walk and sway with dynamic and fluid air, catching all the eye balls.

The 100% satin surface with embroideries and beading work adds luxury and sophistication to the design and finishes the royal look with class. In the moonlight or flashlight, they are the obsession of photographers.

The dress was shortened according to my height, which is 5'6'', and I was wearing it with 6 inch heels.
