The Dress

This dress is so, so beautiful! I absolutely loved it and felt like a princess on my wedding day. I'm sad to see it go, but I have no other use for it :). I figured I'd hopefully find a bride that will feel wonderful on her wedding day like I did! The dress was very comfortable and easy to dance in. I didn't feel too confined in it, and I could easily sit in it. I wore a corset, which was recommended by the bridal shop.

I bought the dress from David's Bridal. The dress is a Oleg Cassini ballgown with 3/4 lace sleeves that are STUNNING. Literally I looked at so many dresses trying to find sleeves and as soon as I put this on, it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. It has a sweetheart neckline with over 4,000 beads! I tried to get close-up pictures of all the beautiful details. It is a draping organza skirt and chapel train (with the ballroom bustle added). Please note that I added the wedding belt that you see pictured and it is not attached. You can choose to either not use a belt, get another belt, or I can also include the belt for no additional fee. I am 5'10" and the dress perfectly hit the floor when I wore flats.

The measurements according to the Oleg Cassini sizing chart are below:

Bust: 43 1/4

Waist: 37 1/4

Low Hip: 46 3/4

Length: 60-61 -- Length measurements are from the center collarbone (Hollow) to the hem of the dress.

Alterations

The ONLY alterations made were getting a ballroom bustle. There are ribbons that are tied together along the train of the dress and three separate buttons that attach near the waist. NO OTHER ALTERATIONS WERE MADE TO THE DRESS. This dress has gone through the preservation process through David's Bridal. This means it has been dry cleaned and professional put into a box. If you choose to buy the dress, it will come in that box and you can easily take it out.
