About the Dress

To any brides that want a more modest sweetheart neckline; around 5'6" with your desired wedding shoes (I am 5'3" and wore 3" heels), 34C cup size, 120 lb; classic look, super light dress (even with its 7 layers of tulle!!) and a soft shimmer layer that sparkles under the sun - this dress is for you! I usually wear a size small in clothing (tops, bottoms, etc).

I absolutely felt like a princess wearing this dress at my outdoor Californian venue in early October 2022. As it was so light, I didn't end up needing a separate reception dress and wore it all night. It was made for me via an authorized tailor for Casablanca. The dress is the Casablanca Melodie 2332 (https://www.casablancabridal.com/collections/fall-2011/style-2332-melodie/, dress is in the color shown on the catalog), with the only alteration being a less severe sweetheart neckline pulled 2" higher. Nothing else was altered or changed (see measurements). There are small cup liners to help support your girls a bit more; also a bustle at the base of the zipper in the back that is newly reinforced, and makes dancing/moving around a breeze. No buttons here, just one simple, easy zipper! Also included is the matching veil for its future owner, which is fingertip length and "hair-comb" style that sat sturdily with a couple of bobby pins.

Dress and veil are dry cleaned, used once, and ready for a new home! I chose not to wear the straps with my dress, and can find them for you (brand new, unworn unused) if desired. Shipping from California, USA.

Alterations

Sweetheart neckline is 2" higher than the original, with a gentle dip vs the classic sweetheart deep V.
