About the Dress

Evie Young Poet was my perfect glamorous wedding dress - the geometric lace pattern is gorgeous and art deco-inspired and showed up really well in our photos. It has a 27" illusion train, square neckline, and waist detailing. There is a hint of a fit and flare, but it felt most like a sheath. The skirt underneath the lace is Evie Young Ivory/Latte, which makes the white lace overlay stand out more. There is also an added belt from the Evie Young Reagan dress for a little extra waist detailing :)

It fit like a glove and was super comfortable, even with how form-fitting it is. Because it's embroidered lace, not beading, I didn't have any issues with irritation under my arms or anything like that. The bustle made it easy to dance in for the reception.

The dress was worn only once (on my wedding day) and was dry cleaned immediately after. It's in excellent condition.

The dress also has an added three point bustle (shown in pictures).

Alterations

Alterations were minimal because I was almost exactly a size 4. The waist was taken up just a touch, the lace overskirt was barely hemmed, the underskirt was not hemmed at all, and the shoulder straps were taken in. We added a three point bustle.
