The Dress

Elie Saab gown from Spring 2022 Collection. I wore this dress for only ~2-3 hours during the INDOOR ceremony/cocktail hour, then switched into a lighter reception gown to party. Pictures shown are from the Elie Saab store on Madison Ave in Manhattan where I purchased the gown plus paid for in-house alterations to add a bustle (see pictures of both train and bustled). I am 5'5 and wore heels. The dress fit snug when I purchased the gown at 149 pounds; the dress fit perfectly when I lost a few pounds and went down to ~135-140 pounds towards the wedding day. I'm throwing in the $1500 veil FOR FREE here since it's much more time consuming to sell the veil separately. I wore the veil for the 10-15 minute ceremony only. Both gown and veil are in the exact condition as received from Elie Saab and also professionally cleaned within 1 week of the wedding. So many compliments about how sparkly the dress looked even at nighttime! Best part was how it sparkled in the wedding videos!!

Alterations

Paid extra cost to Elie Saab for in-house alterations to the hem only and also to add a bustle.
