The Dress

Absolutely incredible dress! I felt like an absolute princess and received endless compliments.

CONDITION: Dress is in great condition and ready to be worn, some fraying along hem

FIT: Purchased a street size 8 but probably fits closer to a 4. (I tried on the sample size 4 but was encouraged to size up by the bridal salon and ended altering it back down) I am typically a dress size 6 but was a 4-6 for the wedding. Bust 34D

The hem of the dress is frayed due to taking pictures on a spanish stone patio, but luckily the dress hem is unaltered, so this can easily be fixed by removing an inch of height. I am 5'10" and wore 1.5" heels. (TLDR: great for someone 5'9" or below, or under 5'11" with heels).

ALTERATIONS: The only alterations made to the dress were tightening the sides to be smaller, closer to a size 6, and adding in a bustle (3 buttons). The bustling cost $500, yours for free!

DRESS: Part of the 2022 Season but has been carried forward to RV's Timeless Collection

Even has pockets!
The fabric is a textured Satin. I have never seen anything like it and I had to have it. It has a slight shimmer to it and looks good with any color of shoes.

Paid $5K+ after tax and alterations

Alterations

Added bustle (3 buttons)
Tightened straps by half a centimeter (I am 5'10" and long, so if you are below this height it should not be an issue)
