The Dress

Designer: Carolina Herrera Bridal

Style: "Lyla"

Color: Silky white.

Size: Bridal size 10 (I wear a 6 or 8 in US Womens)

Alterations: Neckline was raised 1.5 inches by Carolina Herrera Bridal Shop. Then at Carine's Bridal Shop in DC (where dress was purchased) I had the in-house seamstress 1.) hem the skirt (I am 5'5 and wore 2 inch heels), add B/C cups to the chest, and bring in the hips and chest a tiny bit. Also a very easy to use, 2 button bustle was installed.

Condition: The long dress train got dirty while walking down the street for photos. I have not had this dry cleaned yet but will do so upon purchase (if desired). Will also include Carine's Bridal garment bag.

Purchased: Feb 2022 at Carine's Bridal in Washington DC

Worn: October 2022 in Washington DC

Note: This was one of Carolina's final designs for her bridal line -- all dresses are now designed by Creative Director Wes Gordon.

Alterations

It is a bridal size 10 but was professionally altered at the Bridal Shop where purchased (Carine's Bridal in Washington DC). Also, the neckline was brought up at the Carolina Herrera Bridal Shop before shipped to Carine's.
