The Dress

"Delicate and daring, the Kalie gown is dripping in floral lace appliques. The notched V neckline adds a touch of demure, while the soft netting makes this dress something straight out of a daydream."

This dress is the best balance of vintage, boho, classic and enchanting. I found it through the Anthropologie website, and ended up finding a local bridal shop that carried it. They recommended I order it in a size 12 jusssst to be safe, since it could be altered if needed. Im typically a size 8, sometimes 10 depending on the dress. Size 8 pants though, always. I had a tailor take it in here and there to make it fit better and had him sew in nude cups so that I wouldnt have to wear a bra. Alterations cost me under $100. I paired it with lovely Badgley Mishka shoes that matched beautifully. I'd be willing to sell them along with the dress; they're a size 7.5. Originally $235. Would be willing to sell for just an additional $50.

Our ceremony was on the beach in Punta Cana for about 25 min, had some pictures taken, then we went to cocktail hour and a nice private dinner to follow. No dancing. Dress and shoes worn for maybe a total of 3.5-4hrs. Kept in the original bag and packaging it was shipped to me in. Shoes in original box as well.

The first photos are of models (obviously), the next few are from my wedding, one is of the dress in my bedroom post wedding trip, and one of my shoes. Again, both only worn a couple hrs. In great condition!
