The Dress

This was my dream dress. I had this custom made by an incredible designer In the Ukraine whose work is impeccable! When I received it I was floored with her workmanship and detail on how identical it was to my inspiration photo she worked off of. I know she worked hard on this gown and I am so grateful for how beautiful it is.
I decided to go in a different direction for my wedding back in May due to location of the ceremony and weather at the time (hot) and a loss of weight on my end where I did not want to alter the gown as my shape is different now. The gown is new and never worn. This gown is all beaded so please note it has weight to it. The photos and video of me in the dress is me after I lost 25 lbs so the measurements listed is what I was BEFORE the weight loss not my current measurements, but you can see, even with the WL I am not "swimming" in it and am currently a dress 2/4 to give you reference to my size in the photos.
It is a fully beaded lace with a thin tulle liner underneath with center slit. I did take out the thicker liner that was originally in the dress which did not make the dress see-through. I have the liner and it will come with the dress if you want to reattach and if you want photos of the dress with the liner let me know. Another liner if wanted could be added easily. The way she laid the lace in pattern is perfection! The shoulder pads have a lift to them and I requested a deep v neckline where she placed invisible mesh to hold in place. When this was made, I wore a US 6 dress and size 8 pants. I am hippy with a small waist. This cut hangs at the hips so there is forgiveness either up from an 8 or down from an 8. I am 5'7 without heels and had 4" heels on making my height you see in the photos/videos with heels on 5'11". You can have the dress altered in length if you are shorter.
I am wearing an undergarment nude thong brief which is not attached to the gown. The gown does not have a bodysuit or undergarment. The top and the way she has the mesh makes it not see through but you can wear a bra or cups or have it added by your seamstress.
I am sad to let this one go because I was and still obsessed with it. I have to say goodbye knowing it will go to another loving home. If you have any questions on fit or any details or need more photos or video of the dress, just let me know!
This gown sparkles and everyone who saw it was absolutely blown away by it. It is a one of a kind custom gown that you can be sure no one else will have.

Alterations

Shortened to kiss the ground at 5'11" (I am 5'7 without heels and this was done with heels on at 5'11")
