THE FITTED CREPE V-NECK GOWN HUGS EVERY CURVE AND FEATURES A BREATH TAKING TRAIN SURE TO MAKE EVERY ENTRANCE MEMORABLE. THIS BRIDE WILL NOT ONLY DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY, SHE WILL OWN THE NIGHT"

Sarah Seven Belmont is a timeless dress that will make any woman feel sexy, chic, and classy.
I absolutely loved my dress and I hope it will bring you as much joy as it did for me!
The dress moves like a dream and hugs you in all the right places.

The Belmont has a low v-neck, low v-back, and v-sides with a nude mesh.
The bust area has light boning in it, just enough to give it shape and maintain the clean, structured lines; it was not uncomfortable nor noticeable.
The train can form into a french bustle for dancing (see pictures).

This dress was dry-cleaned at a reputable cleaner in Chicago and came in a preservation box. I did take out the dress upon receipt for personal inspection, but it has been kept in the box ever since. The preservation box, alone, was $150 and it will be yours to keep.

Although it was cleaned, the dress did pick up a few minuscule spot stains (typical stains that appear after dry-cleaning) that are no more than 1-2 mm on the lower dress part. They are unnoticeable in pictures. Also, as it did rain in the morning of my wedding, the train of my dress got a bit dirty. While the rain stains are almost completely removed, the inside hem of the train is not 100% pure white. However, it is unnoticeable once worn and in pictures.

Alterations

The dress was purchased at Sarah Seven Chicago in 2018 and it was altered by their in-house seamstress who was familiar with Sarah Seven designs, patterns, and materials.

Dress is a US 4
I typically wear a size 0-2, XS/S -- I'm somewhat in between as I have somewhat broader shoulders than other petite women.
Here are the measurements taken at my first fitting:
Bust: 34
Bra Size: 32B
Waist: 27.5"
Low-Hip: 36
Height: 5'1"

The straps were very slightly brought up while adjusting the neckline a tad to maintain the sexy low-v look.
In consideration of my 4-inch heels, the length of dress was altered accordingly.
A french bustle is added and the buttons and straps are sewn underneath the dress.
By my last fitting, I had lost about 2 inches at the waist.
A/B cups have been lightly sewn in.
