The Dress

This dress was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in real life. It was the third dress I tried on and I just knew I did not need to search any further. I have an hourglass figure and I cannot even explain how beautiful this dress made me feel. I wanted something form fitting but wouldn't be too tight or make me self conscious about my hips. There were originally rhinestone straps but I had them replaced with a white, satin spaghetti strap for a timeless look. There were 5 layers that all flowed so perfectly together, each one unique and different. The cream color and lace on the top layer gave this dress an almost vintage feel. I also felt like I was in an enchanted fairytale. The top was hand stitched lace with padded push up cups sewn in. There were parts between the lace on the torso that were the slightest see-through. I never felt exposed or that it was too much though. The bustle held the dress up all night. One of the things I loved about this dress was it had a beautiful back, but the front was right at floor length so it was not difficult to walk in. With all the layers this dress had, it felt light and airy. I truly cannot express how perfect in every way this dress is!

I have never received so many compliments in my life as I did in this dress! Almost a year later and I still hear how beautiful this dress was from guests at my wedding. I believe this dress deserves more than to sit in a box in my closet. I want another bride to feel as breath-taking as I did in this dress. You and this dress deserve it!

Alterations

This dress was hemmed shorter and taken in at the bust slightly. I am 5'3 without shoes, and 5'5 with shoes. This dress very slightly showed my shoe; it was hemmed just right so I was not tripping over it all day. It has padded push up cups sewn in. I have replaced the rhinestone straps with white satin spaghetti straps to give it a timeless, classy look that can suite anyone's taste and style.
