About the Dress

This is an elegant, understated, gorgeous dress! I couldn't be happier to have chosen this dress for my wedding, and would love to give it another life with someone else.

The dress has 4 layers of fabric, so while the mermaid silhouette is typically not as "forgiving," I felt there was definitely some help with shaping. The bodice has strong structure and sewn in cups for good support. I kept the keyhole back, but the strap can easily be removed for a backless look.

Happy to include the veil for no extra cost, if buyer is interested. It is a off/soft-white 60" cathedral length veil with silver hair pin.

The dress has been professionally dry cleaned and folded into a garment box. I will cover shipping costs up to $100 USD.

Alterations

The straps are sewn on, made from the same crepe material as the dress during the alteration process, but can easily be removed. The dress came with different-fabric straps that felt a bit like bra straps, so I feel this actually goes better with the dress.

The dress was taken in almost everywhere from bust to hips/thighs. It started from a UK size 10 (US size 6) and went down about 1 size. My body measurements are noted on this page, and the dress had a tailored fit without being overly tight anywhere. I was very comfortable the whole night.

It has a traditional bustle with matching white fabric buttons so they are camoflagued well.
