The Dress

This is an ivory A-line wedding gown with a beaded illusion bodice. The bodice features a V-neckline, beaded spaghetti straps and zipped-up back. Bodice has beaded lace appliques, and includes optional lining. The organza skirt is asymmetrical and presents ruffled layers with a horsehair hem. The gorgeous chapel train is able to pin up with the six point bustle for ease of movement. The bustle was the only alteration that was applied to the gown besides the breast cup inserts.

During my day, I felt like a storybook princess. My beautiful gown looked gorgeous in the professional photos, regardless of the angle. I did not use the bodice liner and tucked in the straps to have a strapless and elegant appearance. I removed the two black and white colored garment holders to reduce obvious appearance and uncomfortable sensation of them tucked in. The gown has been professionally cleaned and preserved in a show box by BridalKare. There are no stains and no visible flaws that I discovered or that the BridalKare company sent to me in the extra pictures I payed for.

For reference, I am 5'10 and ranged from 170-185 lbs during the fitting/wearing. My body is a curvy pear shaped with a small to average chest size and long legs. The unaltered height was perfect for me in my wedding shoes (flats).

This gown is extremely classy, elegant, and sure to be "the one" for you as it was for me.

Alterations

The six-point bustle brought the chapel length train up to floor length. Three even sections from each side are pulled up to a central location at the rear of the dress.

The cup inserts were added and can easily be removed. The dress already came with sewn in breast cups, and these were simply held in place atop the original set to enhance appearances.
