The Dress

Willowby by Watters Galatea. Oversized Dalia-inspired floral motifs cover Galatea's exquisite A-line silhouette. Two rows of Velvet Ribbon wrap around the bodice to secure the waist with a delicate bow in the back. There is a very small train.

This dress is the "Titanium" color, so it does have gray tones to it, with ivory oversized floral motifs mixed in. I have included a picture whit my bridesmaids, who wore white dresses, to show the color of the wedding dress. This dress photographs beautifully. I cannot tell you how many compliments I received on my dress.

**Please note** I had the dress dry-cleaned directly after my wedding. The dry-cleaners did say that they found a small tear in some of the tulle in one of the layers of the skirt. However, I cannot find the tear now so I do not have a photo of that. But please keep this in mind as you consider the dress.

Alterations

This dress is a true size 8. It was only taken in a little around the waist.

I did not alter the length of the dress at all. I am 5'7" without shoes, and the dress hit me at almost exactly the right length. I wore very, very low shoes, maybe one or two inches high, because of this, so that the dress would still hit me at the right length.

The most major alteration I had done was to the V-Neck of the top. I am a 34-C and wanted slightly more coverage than the original line of the dress. I has extra tulle and floral applique added to the V-Neck line on the front of the dress. If you compare my photos to the model photos from Watters, you will see the difference.
