The Dress

I put on THIS dress and fell in love. It is INCREDIBLY flattering!! The dress is satin and has a fitted bodice and top, and then it flares. It hides exactly what you want it to hide and shows off your waist. Inside the top, it has an internal support that you clip, that tucks you in nicely. Then, you zip it the dress itself and it has a row of gorgeous buttons.

In the front, it has a bow (note, the bow has one long tail) that is slimming. The bottom drapes and has exposed tulle in the front and the back. In the back, there is a row of sparkly buttons down to the end. The sides of the bottom are satin; front and back are tulle. It just gives it a lot of visual interest that I loved. In order to avoid alterations (we planned the wedding FAST!), I wore a crinoline underneath. But, you wouldn't have to. In the pictures I post at the wedding itself, I was wearing a crinoline. The ones inside, it was less fluffy--and had no crinoline. The only alterations to the dress were 5 bustles I had added. I am about 5'8" with heels on my wedding day.

It has an optional tulle band that wraps around your arms, if you prefer it to not be sleeveless. That picture isn't allowed on the website, but I have a picture of the tulle band if you'd like to see it. I bought this dress in August 2019 and it literally had just rolled into the store as their sample--and I bought it before anyone else even tried it on. It was meant to be for me and I bet it is for you too!

Worn once for a few hours and dry cleaned professionally. After I had it cleaned, I decided I would prefer it to go to another beautiful bride than to just sit in a box.

Seriously--this dress is stunning, so flattering and you'll feel so beautiful.

Alterations

There were no alterations, except for a bustle was added in 5 places (two are hidden bustles).
