The Dress

I never thought I would want a ball gown but the moment I tried this one on, I knew it was perfect. I loved the ivory color, elegant lace, beaded bodice that caught the light and the tulle and horsehair skirt. It was the first dress I tried and after numerous others, none could compare with the way this one made me feel. I felt absolutely beautiful. When I walked down the aisle, the look on my groom's face, told me that he felt I looked beautiful too.
As the music played, I entered with the elegant train flowing behind me. But what about dancing you may ask? When I danced, the horsehair hem and tulle skirt moved along with me. And let's not forget the buttons to bustle the train making movement so easy for the reception.
I must admit that a few imperfections occurred in the underneath tulle. The good news is that they don't show even when the dress is bustled, and they make the dress affordable for a bride on a budget.
The dress was perfect for my special day, and I know it will be perfect for one special bride too. Is that bride you?

Alterations

A few alterations were done to make it just what I wanted. The beaded spaghetti straps were changed to a beaded halter strap. Some layers of tulle were eliminated so that the beautiful ball gown silhouette was perfect for my size. It was hemmed. The beaded and lace illusion bodice is lined and has bra cups.
