The Dress

You'll never find another dress like this! I loved how unique this dress was - it totally broke away from the cliche, overdone cuts you see in all the shops and sites. The lace print is so feminine and organic without looking girlish or fussy. The lace and fabric behind it have a slight contrast for a subtle two-tone effect. The open, low back and strategically pleated seams made my butt look (deceptively) great. The train fans out beautifully without being heavy or over the top. The textured fabric is form-fitting without making you feel overly exposed. It's comfortable and easy to move in. Great for an outdoor venue but versatile enough for a range of settings. I bought it in 2021 and wore it in 2022.

This dress was the perfect look for my day -- and it could be for yours too. ❤️

Alterations

The bodice fit me off the rack, so if you're my size or smaller you should have no trouble altering it down (or keep as is). I'm 6 feet tall and wore it without heels, so if you're average height you have plenty of fabric to work with if you're wearing heels. If you want it shortened it's pretty straightforward to take from both the top shoulder seams and/or skirt. It's been dry-cleaned and has no staining or discoloration whatsoever. The little loop/thread that holds the bustle needs to be repaired, which is an easy fix, otherwise I would have marked it as "used - excellent."
