About the Dress

Absolutely Stunning Christina Rossi dress, worn on my wedding day and professionally dry cleaned since. It molds to your body and is super flattering! The dress has an ivory floral lace over a champagne gold satin underlay which made the intricate details of the floral lace really stand out and was super comfortable against my skin. There is very detailed, shimmering beading all over the entire dress, which shines and glitters in the light as you move. The V shaped pattern at the front of the dress around the hip line is very flattering, especially if you have curves - my waist felt tiny in it! I fell in love with the design as soon as I saw it, but never wanted a strapless dress so got it custom made with straps. Dress states size 14 but I was between a 10-12 at the time - however, corset back means it could fit a street size 10-14 easily. I paid $2850 (on sale) for the dress brand new (plus $300 to dry clean).

Alterations

Custom made neckline/straps. The store sample was a strapless dress (see picture of model) but I got it custom made with a blend between a sweetheart and V neckline to match into the corset back. Loved the straps as I found it more flattering around the top (no fat overhang) and it meant I wasn't hitching my dress up all day/night.
