The Dress

The second I saw this dress online I knew I had to have it. I sought out bridal salons in Southern CA and found Love & Lace had it and the second I tried it on I burst into tears. I KNEW this was my wedding dress! I felt so beautiful, I felt like a princess. Every detail about this dress is incredible! It was an absolute dream to wear and I didn't want to take it off. I purchased a UK size 18, but did lose 2 inches in my waist so it did get altered a significant amount in the waist, they brought it in 2 inches total for the most perfect fit. I don't like traditional bustles so I had my seamstress do a perfect bustle (pic 8) so it looked like it wasn't bustled if that makes sense?! It laid so nice and was PERFECT. It is not a true white or ivory, it has a blush undertone which was absolutely gorgeous in the sun!!

"The Peony Gown features a signature modern bustier bodice, combined with a traditional A-line skirt scattered with romantic floral lace. Elicit pure whimsy in this blush-coloured dream. "

It truly pains me to sell this dress! I hope that the next girl to wear this dress feels exaclty how I felt on my wedding day. The sleeves come with the dress but are removable! 2 dresses in one :)

Alterations

Brought it to floor lenghth, I am 5'11 and wore a 1" inch heel, so 5'11 total and the dress just grazed the floor perfectly. 2 inches brought in at the waist. added a bustle, 2 small clips on the dress.
