The Dress

This dress was an absolute show stopper. Everyone thought it was just stunning. It is fully beaded in an Art Deco style, which caught the light magnificently.
As you can see, the lining is sheer from above the knee down. This made the dress a lot lighter to wear and made the dress more unique and stylish.
I also got two small hooks put on the dress so you can pin up the train when you are dancing. This was incredibly useful and looked gorgeous when it was lifted off the ground! See the last photos of me dancing so comfortably.
The dress also comes with a belt, which is a cute accessory to use. You could even get the belt made into a headpiece.

I am also happy to give you my matching ivory veil for FREE.

There are no stains on the dress and it has been professionally dry cleaned.

It is still being sold new for $4200 so this is a modern dress and an extremely good price for such an incredible dress. I would keep the dress but know it would be better for another bride to enjoy and love it as much as I did!

Alterations

Sheer lining from above the knee down - makes the dress look a lot more stylish and modern.
Thinned out the straps slightly so it is more flattering around the bust.
2 small, hidden hooks to pin up the train - these hooks are hidden and are optional to use but I found they were useful to use when dancing.
The hem was taken up by only 5cm mainly just to make walking easier.
