The Dress

Steal the stars out the sky and wear them on your wedding day! This elegant and stunning gown will make any girl feel like a queen for the day.
Here's how Odylyne describes it's showpiece gown:

"This magical all hand beaded and sequin fabric is the most exquisitely handcrafted gown ever. Bodice is fitted on the chest with a high neck line and also has a built in cami made of silk charmeuse. The Bodice meets at the waist for a fitted look around the hips and billows into a dramatic full sweeping train. A beautiful shirred cap sleeve falls into a long ruffled bell sleeve that covers the top of the hand. Entire dress is lined with 100% silk charmeuse."

This dress was made to size 8/10 then altered and is now a true size 8. I also had the sleeves shortened slightly so that my hands weren't completely covered by the draped sleeves.
I am 5'6" and wore 2.5" heels on the day.
The dress was purchased from Ghost Orchid Bride and altered by them.
Despite the weight of the beaded fabric I felt so comfortable on our wedding day, which is very important.
With care very few sequins were lost on the day and this is not noticeable. I have retained some extra fabric which was removed during alterations which can be used to replace any beads/sequins.

Alterations

Sleeves shortened, some length removed as my shoes weren't very high, taken in around the waist and the straps of the slip underneath were shortened so that it didn't come so low at the front.
