The Dress

This stunning strapless A-line gown has hand-made ivory and white rose appliqués over layers of branch embroidered silk tulle. I purchased this from Mark Ingram Atelier, one of the best bridal boutiques in New York City. The dress was custom made for me at the Mira Zwillinger studio in Tel Aviv, Israel and all dress alterations done with the in-house Mark Ingram Atelier seamstress.

It’s truly beautiful and I felt like it was traditional but very unique and perfect for our outdoor reception. I am in love with this dress and would choose it again and again! The dress has a semi-sheer bodice, so I wore a removable corset during the church ceremony so that it was not as sheer. I am a 34C cup and 5’9 - I wore 2.5 inch heels with the dress, so there is plenty of length to alter to your exact height.

I also had the studio custom make removable straps for the dress from the rose appliqués. The straps are identical to the dress. I wore the dress at our indoor church ceremony, and through dinner and our first dance. I removed the corset and straps for the dance floor and remainder of the evening. I am happy to include the straps and corset at no charge, in addition to the ivory sash.

I had the dress cleaned and preserved by J. Scheer & Co Conservator in New York City. The dress has been preserved and will be shipped to you in the beautiful J. Scheer packaged box. The cleaning and preserving was $995. Here’s the website, for more information on the preservation of the dress: jscheer.com

Alterations

The dress was custom made from my measurements and the seamstress did 2 rounds of alterations once the dress arrived. We mainly took it in in the waist and hemmed it a bit. It would be a street size 8 now.
