The Dress

This is a beautiful classic ivory A line dress from Essence of Australia purchased 12/2023 at RK bridal, worn on wedding day 1/20/24, then dry cleaned and preserved.
Model bride shown is medium petite height 5ft 4 inches who usually wears size 4-6 dress size at Banana Republic and bra size 34 B. This translates to wedding dress size 8 with alterations. The dress has a beautifully crafted corset with built in bra and is floor length with 3-3.5 inch heel. The waistline should fit snuggly so that it allows you to breathe but also not feel loose like it may fall off.
It is a light, airy dress that is perfect for dancing and spinning which was a must for me on my wedding day! It has sweetheart neckline and detailed embroidery throughout the bodice and proximal part of the dress that tapers out. It has a lower back of dress that shows just below your shoulder blades and has a bustle with loops shown in side pictures with bustle up and bustle down easy for an assistant to do. There are layers of tulle that have sparkles throughout the dress. When putting on dress I caution you as it may leave sparkles on the floor but this vacuums up easily.
There is a small tear located at the bottom of the dress in one of the layers which is not obvious and is difficulty to see unless you are meticulously steaming each layer of the dress which I recommend doing prior to your wedding day.

Also included: the overskirt and stunning cathedral veil shown in the back photo with matching embroidery as the dress.
