The Dress

This crepe dress is chic, classic and flattering for the modern bride. Its stunning simplicity allows the bride to shine, rather than the dress wearing the bride. The dress's clean lines allows the bride to add flair with a veil and accessories. Alternatively, the beautiful lace and detail on top makes it perfect for brides who prefer minimal jewelry.
The fabric is white crepe and is ultra flattering as the fabric has stretch and smooths over curves. The bust has soft bust cups to cover and slightly enhance the bride's bust shape; no bra needed. No shape wear needed as well, but if you choose to wear it, knee length shape wear works great!

This dress can be put on with no to little help from others. It has an invisible zip for ease of dressing and an optional small hook. It was comfortable to wear to the end of the night. I absolutely loved this dress and I can't wait for another bride to feel as beautiful wearing it.

This dress was purchased off the rack at a premier bridal boutique in San Francisco, CA called The Bridal Galleria. The label, Exclusive Atelier, is a private label made exclusively for that boutique.

Alterations

Label size 12 and street size 4-6. I am a street size 4, but I altered the dress to allow for it to be let out in case I need more room later. The dress has been professionally altered to include a "French bustle" with two small hooks that are delicate but strong. The dress can be bustled on with the help of one additional person. It can also be done by the bride herself with the dress off. I've included a photo where you can see how this looks. This dress has been professionally dry-cleaned and steamed ($260 from a bridal dry cleaner in San Francisco) which is included in the price.
