The Dress

This dress so so beautiful and unique. I love the lace roses. I felt so beautiful on my special day. I loved my pictures and you will, too! There are sequins on the dress and small beads lining the spaghetti straps. This dress is a mermaid silhouette with a v-shaped back, sweetheart neckline and beautiful train. I really loved the detail of the buttons down the back of the dress. This dress is in pristine condition. I only wore it for the ceremony and it was immediately dry cleaned afterwards. The dress was slightly large in the bust, so I had a professional tailor shorten the straps slightly, and take in the bodice just a touch. She also raised the hem about two inches to allow me to wear flats. She did a great job and the dress is still floor-length. I felt elegant and absolutely love this dress. I just don't have the room in my closet to store it. The last photo is from the website to show the close-up details of the lace. The bodice of this dress is lined and appears less sheer than in that photograph.

Alterations

I took the dress to a professional tailor. She took the bodice in slightly and shortened the straps just a touch. She raised the hem of the dress about two inches so that the dress was floor-length on me. I am 5' 5" tall. She did a very professional job with the alterations. It now fits like a size ten.
