The Dress

Custom Pnina Tornai satin gown with crystals!

I said "yes" to this dress during my very first day of wedding gown shopping. I met Pnina Tornai at Kleinfeld, she helped me dream up this custom dress which is initially inspired by another Pnina Tornai gown, Style #14906N. This dress takes the crystal detail of the original dress and blends it with a flattering, flowing a-line skirt and beautiful train. There's a cute bow detail at the back of the dress.

This is a corset back gown, the closure is beneath the bow in the back. Lacing up the back of the dress allows you to control how tight/loose it is. At the time I purchased the dress I wore a size 8/10, I lost some weight before the wedding and was a size 6/8 on the big day. No alternations were needed to bring the dress in because of the corset back feature that allows you to adjust the sizing. Please note - there's no label size inside this custom gown, but I listed it above as a size 8, which is my dress size.

The gown was professionally dry cleaned by the cleaning lab at Cameo Cleaners in NYC. She still has the beautiful glow and majestic movement as the day I brought the gown home from Kleinfeld.

This custom gown was a show-stopper at my wedding, classy with just enough bling.
