The Dress

My stunning Monique Lhuillier dress was purchased at their flagship store in Los Angeles on Melrose Ave in September of 2022. This dress is absolutely breathtaking, the store clerk told me that it is Monique Lhuillier’s favorite dress, she named it after her daughter. I wore it to our wedding in Lake Como, Italy and I can’t imagine a perfect dress for the destination. You can tell by the photos that the dress is effortlessly beautiful, with the right amount of drama with a classic femininity. I spent over 13k between the dress (10k), veil (2k), and accessories. My (now) husband absolutely loved it also, and I’m so happy I picked for this dress to be my wedding dress. If you haven’t already, I recommend trying it on at the store, then purchasing for a major discount online. Any great alterations person can make this dress fit your body. The elegance, lace and shape of this dress is truly unbeatable. I know you will enjoy this dress as much as I did :) Designer description: a strapless corseted natural waist ball gown with Chantilly lace and a tiered, cascading, horsehair skirt.

Alterations

It is a Monique Lhullier size 6 which fits closer to a US 2-4. I had it tightened to fit better and added bra cups to fill out the chest as I lost a little weight before my wedding in my chest. I’m a 34 B. The bra cups are easily removed if you have a bigger chest. There is an adjustable hook inside the waistline to make it tighter or looser (in case you lose weight or gain weight). My overall dress size is closer to a 4. I wore Monique Lhuillier bridal heels that were 3 inches in height. I am 5’4”. The dress has been worn once and dry cleaned after.
