About the Dress

Hi bride!! This dress is one-of-a-kind, Colby John. I fell in love with the top of one of his dresses; the detail in the beading is just amazing. However, it was originally a skin-tight mermaid style made for slender women, so I had it converted to an a-frame style to hide the curves! The dress has been heavily tailored and will fit a street size 14 for sure, possibly 16. I am 5 foot 7 inches tall and 180 pounds, with a Victoria's Secret double D cup size, typically. This was hemmed with about a 2-3 inch heel, and then it has snaps all the way around the bottom and a French bustle for the train that was measured wearing an inch and a half platform tennis shoes. (Betsy Johnson, to be exact). I do have a cathedral-length veil that pairs nicely featuring a beaded edge that I can throw in with the dress if you are interested. It has been professionally cleaned and is ready for you!

Alterations

The shoulder straps were adjusted to ensure they weren't falling off my shoulders, and the bust area was adjusted as needed (since, like most brides, I purchased an original size that was much too large for me).
