The Dress

ELEGAN LACE SWEETHEART WEDDING DRESS WITH OFF-THE-SHOULDER STRAPS

This was the DRESS OF MY DREAMS and everything I wanted in a wedding dress! I wore it once for my summer wedding at an arboretum and felt like a queen. With the 3D flowers and sequins, it literally sparkles as you walk (see video). This dress is dreamy and super romantic with the sleeves. What I loved about this dress is the unique sweetheart neckline with a "V" mesh tiny plunge. Since then, the dress has been professionally dry cleaned (this cost $$$) and has been hanging safely in my closet.

Dress bought from Bridal shop called Lili Bridals in Tarzana, CA in June 2023.

Designer Description: Exquisite and ethereal. Style 1321 brings luxurious bridal wonder to life. This wedding dress features several decadent details, from fluttering floral embellishments to voluminous, flowing tulle. The sweetheart neckline bodice is covered with layers of floral lace details, with sheer elements showing off the intricate details. Sexy exposed boning peeks through the chantilly lace for a demure, high-fashion look. All through the skirt, breezy 3D floral appliques add irresistible dimension and texture to this A-line gown. The off-the-shoulder strap adds a final whimsical touch, with the 3D appliques giving this couture gown a complete, cohesive feel. website: https://www.essensedesigns.com/martina-liana/wedding-dresses/1321/ If you are local to Los Angeles, you can contact me to schedule a viewing in person!

Straps are detachable to make this a strapless dress or to create a "second look". I kept the straps on all night.

Alterations

Alteration details: The waist fit great for my measurements. The main fix was the length and the bust. I am 5'1'' and wore 5 inch platform heels for the big day so I had the alterations professionally done at Lili Bridals. (So if you are taller than me but plan to wear shorter heels, this will still work for you!) She altered the front, keeping the special lace edge and left the gorgeous long train intact. For the bust area, I had some gaps on the sides so she tailored to fit my bust at 35.5 inches. I am smaller chested at a B cup.
