The Dress

This is the perfect dress for the elegant, petite bride! It is a one-of-a-kind dress which was special ordered from the designer by the owner of a small bridal shop in East Dundee, IL. He combined the illusion neckline of one Christina Wu dress with the fit and flare bottom of another dress. There is a nude fabric beneath the white lace allowing the lace to pop. The lace also has sequins which adds a bit of sparkle to the dress. The belt pictured was bought from Amazon and is included; it is removable.

The dress was light and comfortable to walk around in on my wedding day. I had it on for 8 -10 hours that day and never felt uncomfortable. The dress has been professionally dry-cleaned.

NOTE: If you are this height, you will save quite a bit of money on alterations as taking up the hem was the largest cost associated with this dress because of the detailed lace pattern.

Alterations

The dress has a button and loop bustle which blends perfectly with the fit and flare cut of the dress. This prevented the lace from tearing when bustled. The hem was altered to fit me with my heels on (5'4" or 5'5"). The hips were taken in a bit as was the bust.
