The Dress

With a sleek square neckline, a fully boned bodice and ultra refined thin straps, Gemma provides endless support and the perfect amount of lift. Crafted in our signature stretch crepe that both smooths and hugs all the right places, Gemma is the ideal gown to ensure every angle is your best angle.

I loved every second of wearing this dress! I wear a street size 6-8 and this dress fit perfectly throughout the waist and chest. I also opted to have faux buttons added along the back of the dress for a little added interest.

My seamstress added an incredible ballroom bustle, which maintained the silhouette of the dress and made the train of the completely disappear. It was also a breeze for my MOH to bustle it during cocktail hour. See photo from the dance floor!

Note: The dress has some discoloration along the hemline from when I switched to a sandal during the reception. See photo for details. Either wear as is, or take it to get dry cleaned. The listed price reflects this and the time and effort to get it properly washed.

Alterations

Straps were slightly shortened, cups were added to the dress, dress was shortened, and ballroom bustle was added. I am 5'4" and wore a 3" heel.
