My experience:
-> As someone carrying a few extra pounds, I thought I would have a really hard time finding a beautiful dress but I was so very lucky to have found this one at the very first bridal boutique I visited. It felt and looked absolutely perfect and I couldn't have been happier with it on the day itself and now again in the professional wedding photos we just received.
-> The straps add such a delicate romantic touch. I wore them for the photos and then took them off for the entrance into the reception.
-> I’d be happy to share receipts from the boutique, dressmaker and dry cleaners.

Alterations

-> Alteration of length.
-> Creation of hook for train.
-> Bodice taken in to be more "snatched" at the waist.
-> Removeable sleeves were taken in so they sit closer to the arms.
