The Dress

Dear bride-to-be,
I hope that you will love this dress as I fell in love with it at Kleinfeld's. In the summer of 2021, I went to the store and almost left empty-handed, but this was the last dress brought out before the appointment was up, and I said "Yes!"

This dress had just premiered at the "Si Sposa Italia fair" in Milan for the 2022 collection and I was at Kleinfeld's the last day of the trunk show before this dress was gone until the larger release of the collection in 2022. I was informed this dress had a lead time of 1 year to be hand-sewn in Italy. I figured that would be enough time to let the pandemic pass and have a wedding without compromises.

However, life had other plans and another surge of Omicron led me to speed up the plans to have a civil ceremony over the dream wedding I had in mind. In the end, the dress took longer than expected and was completed only in May of 2023! I had Kleninfeld's send the dress to me without going for any alterations and I had to decide what to do.

Now in 2024, I don't want this dress to be sitting in a box when I already am happily married, and while it can help make your dream wedding come true. For the size and fit, I am normally a size 12. However, with the Italian sizing, you can see from the pictures the waist was a little tight. The consultant recommended buying a size up so that it could be tailored to a perfect fit. Please reach out with any questions or offers!

Here is the description of the dress (translated from Italian) from the designers themselves.
"A-line dress made with glitter and silk tulle overlay.
The bodice has a point d'esprit base with embroidered lace and is entirely hand-embroidered with Swarovski crystals.
