The Dress

The Emma Dress from Marchesa was gorgeous and super comfortable!
- Beautiful fabric with lace, a flower pattern, beading and pearls, and multiple layers of tulle underneath
- The dress is really eye catching and photographs well, in both a more formal/indoor setting and outdoors
- The color is white rather than cream
- The straps are not too skinny and do not dig in
- The neckline is closest to a square shape but slightly curved, as seen in the photo
- I did not alter the dress around the rib cage which left plenty of breathing room; could be taken in further
- The A line skirt allows lots of room to walk and move from the waist down
- The dress hits the ground at 5'9" (including shoes) and is very easy to walk in
- The dress comes with a medium length train as seen in the photo
- The dress also includes the option for a bustle, with four sets of ties that are very easy to pull together
- Made in 2022; worn for one day in good weather and mostly indoors; no flaws or smudges on the dress
- More photos available upon request!

Alterations

Only made two alterations:
- Slightly pulled in the neckline to lie flat and added cups, both of which could be adjusted again
- Trimmed the bottom of the dress, so that it currently hits the floor as shown at 5'9" (including shoes); dress could definitely be trimmed further very easily
- No alterations were made to the back or sides/torso
