The Dress

Gorgeous custom dress by Beverly Hills atelier L’Ezu Bridal Atelier (https://www.lezu.com/). This 2017 dress is in pristine condition; worn once and professionally dry cleaned by couture dry cleaners. L’Ezu makes custom dresses for Los Angeles women (and East Coast transplants like me!) I wanted a beautiful dress that would fit me perfectly, evoking old Hollywood with a modern spin. This fit the bill perfectly! It was elegant, glamorous, and extremely comfortable. I didn’t even need to wear a bra—and I’m an F-cup. Color: The dress is subtly champagne-blush organza over ivory silk, with beautiful French lace ivory flowers hand-sewn across the bodice and just at the knee to flutter, ever so subtly, when you spin on the dance floor. I loved every moment in this dress and hope that you will on your special day.

Size/Fit: I’m hourglass-shaped (Bust: 36” Waist: 32” Hips: 41”). Photos: The first photo was taken at my wedding during the first dance. This dress can be worn with a variety of different belts, or without belt. The belt in the first photo is not for sale. (I am keeping it as a wedding memento.)

Style: The dress is trumpet-style, with a very subtle longer back to act as the subtlest of trains. The button details at the back provide a classic look, with a zipper and hook underneath to avoid having to individually hook them! Before opening her appointment-only atelier, designer Patricia Nevil trained at European fashion houses like Hermès and Emanuel Ungaro — and it’s evident in her one-of-a-kind, Parisian-inspired gowns and handmade embroidery crafted in LA.
