The Dress

This dress was worn once for my ceremony October 8, 2022 after purchasing it in August of 2021. It was cleaned after the wedding and stored in a closet in a non-smoking, pet free home ever since.

This dress is stunning and timeless. The only embellishment is the ruching on the bodice and the matte satin belt that matches the dress fabric, depicted in the second photo. There are also pockets! This makes for easy storage of vows or a needed tissue.

The train is cathedral length and has a bustle if you choose to wear it through your reception. There are ornamental buttons from the top of the dress all through the train, and a horsehair style hem to ensure its sits beautifully.

Alterations

The dress was taken in a bit at the waist and shortened a few inches. For reference I am 5'4'' without shoes and wore 3 inch heels and it was perfect.

There are cups added to the dress, size D (not push-up). I also had elastic straps added at the bust line to make sure I stayed in the dress and didn't worry about pulling it up all day!

For the bustling, there are 9 pick up points - one on the belt, then four on each side. The belt unbuttons to cover the bustling.
