The Dress

My dress is beaded and trimmed by hand and handmade, all French lace and silk by designer Rita Vinieris Rivini. Her collection can be seen exclusively sold in boutique wedding stores and the likes of Kleinfeld. The dress is stunning and made me feel like a queen on my wedding day. I accessorized it with a Swarovski belt and Badgley Mischka wedding shoes. The dress is fitted and accentuates the waistline in a very elegant and flattering way. The waist hugs in nicely to accentuate the mermaid style with a corset elevated style that gives it both a regal and feminine appeal. The dress is originally strapless, but I opted for an off the shoulder lacey look due to being more full at the top. The lace sleeves are made from the dress itself. The dress is in pristine condition and has been dry cleaned twice and worn for about 2 hours on my wedding day as I changed to a different gown for the reception. Any bride-to-be, that gets to wear this dress will be wearing a handmade lace gown with flawless design and a beautiful train that will surely make for stunning wedding pictures and wow the groom and the guests. The elegance of the dress will add to the beauty of the bride. It is a dress that does not take away but only adds finesse and can be embellished to any brides' taste.

Alterations

I added sleeves to the strapless dress that fall off the shoulder to elevate the elegance of the dress and also because I am more full up top and wanted the added support. The sleeves are also handmade lace from the dress itself.
