The Dress

This is the Octavia Dress by Jenny Yoo, sold at BHLDN. It's absolutely a dream to wear and who doesn't love pockets?! It's a classic, yet modern dress, with clean lines. I wore this once for my wedding. I hope that this dress can make a second (and third!) appearance for other brides and make them feel just as glamorous and beautiful!

I felt amazing in the dress! It's a lot of fabric, but it never felt heavy. It's also really fun to twirl in this dress. It is a deep V in the back and front, but it never felt like it was going to fall off at any point of the day/night. I wear B cups and I didn't quite fill it out. The bust area is fairly structured though and no one could tell.

I wore a belt with the dress, which is not included. The dress is stunning no matter how you style it - belt/no belt, big/small jewelry, etc.

I had the dress dry cleaned after the night, and there are no make up or dirt marks on the dress.

Alterations

It's a size 6 dress and I had several alterations done to the dress. I had it hemmed at the bottom, so I could wear flats with the dress. I added an American bustle so there are two buttons added at the base of the zipper, and three small loops on the back of the dress. I also had the dress taken in slightly in the bust area as I'm a B cup. The bust area is fairly structured.
