The Dress

Beautiful Monique Lhuillier Atherton Lace trumpet gown with princess seams, sweetheart neckline and nude lining. Included with dress if desired is the matching removable bolero jacket (keyhole back, long sleeve and high neck). Bolero has beautiful pearl buttons on the back and sleeves. Dress is used (only once) but in perfect condition and was professionally cleaned and preserved by the wedding gown preservation company. Dress is split sized for a size 12 hip but size 10 bust and waist size. I am 5’7” and wore about 3.5 inch heels so the dress will have length for same height, about 5’10”, or shorter brides. Price is negotiable!

A little more: why I loved it.
After trying on an innumerable amount of dresses, I was struggling to find the classic and elegant silhouette I wanted that didn’t feel too boring. I tried on many plain but modern cut dresses but found them lacking in any “wow” factor. Then I tried on lace or other dresses with embellishments and felt either old fashioned or over embellished. This dress was everything I had wanted! A sleek and elegant, modern look but the lace is SO STUNNING, unique and romantic, that I was still getting that bridal “wow” feeling! The added bolero allowed me to have that big post-ceremony reveal without buying a second dress having an elegant and modest (but still slightly sexy with the cut out and trumpet silhouette) for church and then the beautiful low back and flattering sweetheart neckline for the reception. Everyone complimented my dress and it was definitely an absolute memorable piece of my wedding! I hope it will be for you too!

Alterations

No significant modifications to the original design except added boning to the corset for added structure and support. Also added easy to tie (and beautiful) French style bustle.
